    Simply buying desirable items offered by the US mint
    I have always found a way to make coin purchases through the years by US Mint mailing list. For 25 years I have been a passive buyer from the mint, putting my treasure away in the safe. Periodically, sharing my collection with family or friends that expressed an interest. Back in the late 70 and early 80's I had a passion for coin shows, trade magazines and local coin shops. But my path took many directions and the passion faded but not the interest. The US mint provided me a method of coin collecting that was both convenient and affordable. Passive.
    Recently, I have renewed passion and interest in coins, for one thing I have more capital to spend and with new grading standards, I see a more equitable process/standard for active buying. With the internet, a great way to share and learn with other enthusiast.
