How Numismatics became another faded interest.

Hi All,

Been a while since I posed anything so I thought I would weigh-in with a few thoughts and unburden in the process.

I have deleted about half my registry sets because I intend to eventually sell the coins and i didn't want to even slightly tempt myself to change my mind. I put aside 20 very nice coins for my Daughter Hana and I have decided to keep my Mercury Dimes, my Walking Liberty Halves, and My Peace Dollars. Will also be keeping my custom sets intact. Everything else will go go go, or is already gone gone gone.

The reasons are complex but it basically amounts to new priorities and a renewed focus on my retirement in 5 years. My wife and I have decided to buy a home sometime soon in our targeted community, Bethel Park PA. Why Bethel Park? I have a 7 year old daughter and we are very interested in getting her into a good solid school system before she enters Middle School. We also want to get her away from a part of Southern California that we feel is turning from a nice middle class community to a poor community. The school district where we live is substandard even by California's general mediocre standard. Finally, I just happen to Love the Pittsburgh PA area.

Still love the Hobby and will still continue to pursue Peace Dollars, and keep my Sacs and 21st Century set current. These will also eventually go to Hana but they are my toys for now.

Hope you are all doing well. Fall is my favorite time of the year.

Later,

Malcolm
