  1. You guys are right, us older guys don’t have the resources that younger working people have and thus, due to the COVID caused hyper activity in coin collecting, i too have experienced this. I have spent way more than I should of and frankly, a little embarrassed by my surge in 2021. Of course the Mint took advantage and got everybody to pay way more than the new coins are worth (silver wise). So, while I await the arrival of my 2021 Morgan(cc) and 2021 ASE ms70, a good example of this hyper inflation is the 1909 s vdb, now regularly selling north of 1k. I have just completed the entire Lincoln cent collection (minus the s vdb) with literally every cent from 1909-2021 including the 2019 “w” mint version, and I am seriously thinking of selling now while the inflated market still exists. I think I can do pretty well.

    and that may make me feel less guilty about my expensive hobby. I know a lot of you have extremely extensive collections. I will never get there on social security and pension.
