Spending spree!

Don't tell my wife!

I received a new credit card with 12 months no financing- very dangerous in the hands of a coin addict! I decided I would use $1200 for coins and pay off $100 per month. I went over my budget, about $1320, but I filled some holes in my proof and type sets and got some good prices on several certified coins! It can be amazing what can be won at auction when you can set a bid and not worry about whether it will go over my budget (well, within a $1200 budget)

For the first time in my collecting career I am actually going after mainly the key dates first for my Washington Quarter set. In the past I have filled in sets with the more common dates first. But I figured if I was going to go on a spending spree I would want to make it count.

Although I would love to collect certified MS63/64 Morgan dollars, that is just not a realistic long term budget reality. Since I really like the Morgans, I decided I would try and fill an 1891 to 1921 Dansco book with AU and lower grade MS coins for the common dates and affordable circulated coins for the tougher dates. Of course there is not an affordable (for me at this point) coin in the key dates- 1893 S, 1894, 1895 S and 1903 O. But that is down the road- I can still enjoy the Morgan series at this level of collecting.

My registry rank is down to 648, but at this level it does not stay in one ranking spot very long, so I will enjoy breaking the 650 mark for a few days until someone knocks me back up.

So here is what I won on my spending spree:
