Our own Bruce Morelan had a guest spot interview (collectors corner) in the latest addition of PCGS' Rare Coin Market Report. Best takeaway for me was " Sometimes opportunity is more important than price" Great thing to remember when buying a coin you may have to reach for..

Nice collection Bruce!

Great job by Pcgs on this article

Great article. You are an inspiration Bruce. Love this and all the articles, interviews and posts you've done in the past.

For me, what makes Bruce "a real coin collector's coin collector" is that he does what many of us do, just at greater levels:

• buys coins including great rarities
• stretches for coins (bridge loans)
• buys raw coins on eBay (Trade Dollars)
• posts on the forums

Definitely passionate and definitely taking things to the next level.

Thanks for all your posts and participation here Bruce.

Yes. Great achievements.
Prior to my starting to post on here, he was one of the first members that I reached out with regards to trade dollar articles that he had written before.

Oh, he is okay. He once had me acquire 3 $10 AU gold Pieces a few years ago. First time I had to crack out a PCGS coin was for that order. I found two raw specimens , but the third wasn't easy.
He said they were to be used as ball markers for his golfing buddies/neighbors.

Sorry Mr Bruce. Busted.

No disrespect meant, but if you don't have the money for the "price" the "opportunity" is meaningless.

I don't interpret "price" to mean "have the money". I interpret it to mean paying "moon money" vs. a more standard market price, say the PCGS Price Guide price (for a non-toned piece). Here the moon money price would still be within one's available funds.
