59 years after I started with several breaks in between ( but always checking my pocket change ) I never figured my collection would be this large or the quality that I have now. Only discovered slabbed coins in the last 6 years. Now sitting on 2,000 slabs, 95% being PCGS. and over 30 complete Dansco albums. Several top ten Registry sets. Put in alot of overtime since 2018 to get where I am and when I think about my collection, I just smile to myself.
Receiving this latest submission back from PCGS blows my adult mind so I'm sure it would freak me out as a kid.
Once I got serious about learning die marriages and varieties, I had lots of thrills discovering the rare stuff I had in my collection. Here's my first significant cherry pick outside of my own collection since finding that 1798/7 16-stars dime/love token in a junk box decades ago. It's cool to see this 'find' in a TrueView now.

My collection is completely different than anything I expected as YN. I didn't even know hardly any of the coins I own now exist.
I never bought any of the aspirational coins I wanted back then, those which I can afford now but could not in the late 70s.
That's an old one! One Amos Hobby slab redesign, 3 PCs, and one printer ago.
