Hello Collector's Society, been a little while since my last journal.

It's been a time spent in turmoil after coming across some great silver Roosevelts. What I've been debating is the future of my collection, as I've lost most all interest in moderns for collecting. I still thoroughly enjoy the grading process and probably won't quite that part, but the clad dimes have lost their "luster" so to speak... The silver issues are quite a bit more intriguing and have a finite limit to the set, instead of hundreds of years of the same boring thing - the mint needs another Roosevelt, Teddy that is, in the White House. The later issues in the Roosevelt series, just like about every other modern issue have become so dogmatic that they are lifeless and boring (IMO).

So, with that said I'll be divesting my clad Roosevelt's and most of my moderns in the coming weeks/months and adding to my silver Roosevelt's and perhaps another mid 20th Century collection - to paraphrase- "when coins were coins". Haven't decided what else I may pursue but could be Buffalo Nickels, V Nickels or SLQ's - who knows...

This was a tough decision for me, but I believe the right one given some beautful coins that became available to me in the silver Roosies set.

God Bless and Happy Collecting!
