Many are familiar with the cliché that a sports team member may say after having a not so good season "...it's a rebuilding year". The same can be said about numismatic collections. I went to the Denver Coin Expo a couple weeks ago to sell off some of my collection to pay a bill that has been hanging over my head a for a little while. I met my goal and now I can rebuild my collection...one step at a time.

Here is step one;

    Not my series, but that is an attractive looking coin. Great start!

    Nice coin. It always feels good to be relieved of debt.

    A. Congrats on being your goal and getting rid of that debt!

    B. Nice first step at rebuilding!

    C. I'm with ya on the rebuilding, but I'm probably on the 10-year or 20-year rebuilding plan! Mine is more cuz I'm reevaluating what I really want to do with my collection. It's been quite a while since I've really done anything. So, first I have to look at the entire collection. Organize and Catalog. Photograph. Plan for the future: what do I really want to focus on? Sell what I don't really want/"need". Then, add what I really do "need"!!!

    I am with you, It will take more than a year to rebuild.

    Absolutely stunning Walker.
    Congrats and have FUN rebuilding @oih82w8.
    Fortunately you shouldn't have to settle for dreck in the process, unlike my Seattle Mariners during one of their, yet again, rebuilding years. :)
