Not Following Advice posted by Electric Peak Collection

[CSJournals-migration]

My wife told me some good financial advice she heard.

 

It makes sense: Don't go broke saving money. That is, do not spend money you do not have just because something is on sale or because you saved money on something else.

 

As I wrote in the wee hours this morning, the other day I 'won' an 1847 half dime at auction for half what I was willing to pay for the 1858 half dime that was my prime target, but did not end up mine. So, having saved so much money... I participated in the Heritage session Thursday afternoon as I worked. Along with the 1847 half dime, they will be sending me a 1945-S "micro S" Mercury dime.

 

I am also the current high bidder on a lot in their Sunday session...

 

Isn't this hobby great? Here is the dime.

Great Looking Merc. I tell myself I am making an investment whenever I buy a new coin. But in my heart, I know I am just an addict feeding my jones.
