$50 and a local coin shop... posted by TD Henson

Better than spending $800 for a Super Bowl ticket without a seat!!

 

Sometimes I get wrapped up in certified collecting that I forget how cool this hobby can be when properly appreciated. I spent about two hours at the local coin shop on Saturday looking through mint sets, Eisenhower dollars for an album and buying some raw Roosevelt dimes for several Unc albums I have going...

 

Spent about $50 and received hours of enjoyment, grading, placing them in albums and researching my purchases for RPM's, Double Dies and the like. What a blast!!! I can't remember the last time $50 provided so much enjoyment.

 

Happy to be a coin collector in so many ways. Hope you all had just as great a weekend!

That's awesome, Todd, I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself.

 

This IS such a wonderful hobby in so many ways; isn't it? I think so too!!

Wow! It makes me wish there was an honest dealer around here. I guess it could make for a nice day. Thanks for sharing that with us, Todd!

That's what it's all about, the enjoyment. I can sit and pour over a few rolls of pennies and actually enjoy going thru the dirt and grime.
