Or how a Collector of Low Means by No Means can still Thrive.

I love to read everyone's journal entries. Especially the journals that are highly informative (Thanks WKF) or the ones that describe a new acquisition. I know we all take real pride in our collection and especially those triumphant times when we've obtained a real gem at a bargain price.

Well, I think I got a nice bargain today. As some of you are aware, I recently discovered that the Lincoln Memorial Cent in my 21st century set was actually a Lincoln Anniversary Cent so I removed the offending coin from my set and checked Ebay for a quick replacement. I targeted a PCGS 2006-P SMS Lincoln Cent in MS68 condition. Well this morning, I found out I was the winning bidder at $4.95 with $4.05 postage for a total cost of $9.00. Even though the postage is a little high, I am very pleased with the overall price and can't wait to add it to the set. BTW, my high bid was $5.95.

Happy Collecting Everyone!!
