SPRING CLEANING IN NOVEMBER by CaptBrian1

[CSJournals-migration]

Out with the new, in with the old.

 

I am a relatively new collector and I being introduced to the world of coins was quite a daunting experience in the beginning. I did not have much focus nor intent, just found it 'something to do' with some extra money while I was working for a living.

As time went by, and I got more involved, I was intrigued with the wide scope and variety of coins and paper money. [i am just now beginning to 'see' paper money as a new side of my collecting.]

A short while ago I began to focus on more rarities and started selling mine, buying and trading into them. I began by buying the 1907 $2.5 Liberty PF68 with star, and added some more Kupersmith and Bass collection items and other non-pedigreed coins. Since returning from my Alaska trip, I focused on looking for $2.5 Indians, and completed now, three sets. Two of which are now in the competitive sets in NGC's Registry. The third set is on the way to me, which I will enter when I get it. My lesser important coins are on the way to the seller. I also added a Pan Pacific Commemorative and will highlight it on Monday when I get it out of the bank. I did not have time to list it earlier and was just 'viewing' it and was not sure I was going to keep it, nor had we agreed on price. So, I traded out 22 of my coins, which has lowered my status in the Registry about 50 places and substantial dollar value. Upon receiving my new coins, (the third Indian set) and entering the Pan Pacific, my status should return to the previous level. I think the registry numbers will increase with the trade.

Hope to see a few of you at the F.U.N. Show in Orlando in January.
