    I think it would be cheaper to keep her rather than to try for an upgrade.

    All worn out, not for me.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    I thought I had a MS (marriable spouse) but it’s just a business strike. It’s detail was, ahem, mushy

    I like it, but it’s not going in my Box of 20.
    Got it cheap on impulse. Might just donate to a young person that shows some interest.

    She's golden, but If you shine the light just right you can see the putty.

    Artificially toned.

    I think she's been whizzed.

    She truly is a "Whale"...

    That one has to many hairlines for my taste.

    I looked a long time for one this hammered.

    “She’s toned so nicely... I just can’t stop staring at her luster under the right lighting.”

    “I only love her because she’s rare and in mint condition.”
    (Collecting logic. Not marriage logic.)

    “Yeah, I’ve got six others just like her, but this one has a better strike.”
    (Coin upgrade = fine. Spouse upgrade = don’t even think it.)

    “She was kind of plain, so I sent her in for regrading and a new holder.”
    (Numismatists will nod in agreement. Spouses will not.)

    “She’s been cleaned... it really hurt her value.”
    (Sad truth for coins. Horrible thing to say about anyone.)

    “She’s been through a lot, but at least she’s still worth something in XF-40.”
    (Sympathetic for a coin. Brutal for a relationship.)

    “She was struck off-center, but I kept her because she’s an error.”
    (That’s a badge of honor in coin collecting. Elsewhere... yikes.)

    “Sure, she’s not perfect, but that CAC sticker makes all the difference.”

    “Honestly, I’m just holding onto her until the market improves.”
    (Yep. That’s how you end up single and banned from the ANA.)

    Are those doubled D’s?

    I don’t mind if it’s been touched, as long as it’s still shiny

    She: Why are you always staring at that thing?
    Me: It’s got better curves than you’d think.

    Me: It’s just a hobby.
    Also me: locks collection in a safe, installs 3 alarms, buys desiccant packs

    I don’t care if it’s been around the block, the details are still sharp

    Man, the reverse looks way better than the obverse

    Proud follower of Christ! I love the USA! Land of the Bright and Beautiful! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  • pcgsregistrycollectorpcgsregistrycollector Posts: 2,260 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I’d never trade this one… unless something rarer comes along

    I don’t care about ED with that one.
