...and happy days are here again!!!

Today has been a really, REALLY good day. My weekend is Sunday and Monday, which is ok with me, as I can do errands and personal business on Mondays. My first order of business today was to go to the bank and city hall. I needed to put some cash from my pay check into my checking account, but the best thing was I caught up my interest on my bank loan. I also needed to pay my water bill, so over to city hall I went. So, what this means is, all I have left to pay are my credit card bills, as soon as the insurance settlement comes. Hopefully my parents are somewhere smiling, since I'm really close to being out of debt.

After I did all this, I finished up some coin pictures. Then I went upstairs to go out to get the mail, and when I went outside, wonder of wonders, I saw sunshine and blue sky. :-) Since there was a chance of snow in the forecast, this really brightened my day. So, since I've had a case of cabin fever for the last couple of weeks, in my car I hopped and headed for Keokuk, there's a small coin shop in the mall I've been wanting to check out. I needed some penny tubes for my wheat cents and 4 coin Lincoln pennies.

I had pulled out 3 duplicte, raw Morgans and 2 duplicate raw Peace dollars, thinking I might sell them for the silver. Well, they offered me $14 each for them, so I took it. Then I looked thru their world coin box and found 5 Mexican coins I needed for my raw sets. Then, I found some raw Morgans. So I asked to look thru them. I've been thinking about putting together a raw set in lower grades, sorta in honor of Dad, who saved out some Morgans (which started me on this quest so many years ago). I bought an 1880, an 1897 and an 1899O. :-)

Well, the day even gets better!!!!!!!! Teletrade had a 2007 Proof Canadian nickel in their Monday night auction, and I had it tracked! Well, with everything paid off except for my credit cards, I have a little money over and above my expeneses, so I bid on the nickel and WON IT!!! Plus, I was able to pay CASH, rather than using my credit card I have remaining. I'm LEARNING, slowly but surely!!

Well, I hope I didn't bore anyone, I can't describe how much weight has been lifted from my shoulders the last week or so. Thank you mom and dad.

I'm attaching a pic of one of the Morgans I bought today.

Thanks for reading!
