It Has Been An Eventful Few Weeks

and my basement has cracks

It sure has been eventful around here at Collector Central. Besides the normal work routine, I have had to move things up from the basement and what is not up is in a basement corner. The dry weather has sure made my basement settle and now I have a couple of big cracks in the southeast corner. I have contacted a contractor about, he has made one inspection, but he is so busy I do not know when he will be back with an estimate. I am getting worried he has enough people in front of me (I know of at least 2 other homes in my little town) I am afraid it will be spring before he gets here.

So, as you all can imagine, the funds for coins is extremely limited, at least until I get the estimate and probably for several months after.

I have sold some items that did not really fit in my grand scheme of collecting. There are probably 20 more that will go, but I am still debating on some of them.

I have decided to do the silver state and ATB proof quarters. One good thing through all of this is I have gotten my computer and most of my coins upstairs now, the only thing really left to bring up is my copy stand for my camera. When I do that, hopefully more pictures will be forthcoming.

I have been able to buy 3 coins the last week or so. I am afraid this will be it, unless I can find some of the quarters VERY reasonable. I upgraded 2 of my Westward Journed proof nickels from PCGS to NGC and I have the South Dakota silver quarter also coming.

Another positive is I have some time to do some scanning of paper items. I do love historical paper, and a couple of years ago I purchased 2 paper items concerning the Carson City mint from a couple of ANR/Stack's sales. One is a "Memorandum of Silver Bullion" deposited at the mint in 1889. I truly believe these type of items bring the coins alive. So my photo for this journal will be the scan of this document.
