    Join the club.

    The pickings on ebay, at least for me, have been slim. The coins I am seeking are either raw or suspect, or graded way beyond the structure of my collection.

    As for my local shops, it's a drought, as it relates to coins I am working on. One of my local dealers says they are having a hard time taking in anything that isn't common, the other is inundated with gold, which is a venture I would just as soon steer clear of. Not in my immediate plans.

    I've taken to starting a few new collections while I wait for some other coins to shake loose. I'm working on a high grade Peace Dollar set at the moment, and there is an abundence of these to be had from 60-65.

    I've also started dabbling in Roosevelt dime proofs 50-64. It is amazing what you can pick up in these for next to nothing. I just received an MS-68 for which I paid $8.45.

    I guess there is always something out there and you just have to either sit tight, or divert your attention for a while.

    Ditto for me Goose. I haven't bought anything in months......might be time to start scouring the local shops.

    Come to think of it, I had not thought about starting a high grade slabbed Franklin set!

    I think I'll get working on that right away.

    I've picked up some darkside stuff lately, but nothing in my fav two series (IHC and Buffs) has really caught my eye in the past couple of months.

    I've been trying to PRY a certain nickel from a guy but haven't had any luck with that. It's one I've been watching for forever.

    I've been looking for a FA-AG chain cent. I'd like an AG3 with some problems so it would match my Wreath.

    I'm also trying to pry a rare variety for my cent collection from another guy.

    I have a want ad in the next Longacre Ledger for an 1857 1c with the reverse clash of the seated 25c. Hopefully I hear something when that comes out.

    People are not wanting to part with the "good" stuff. Ebay is loaded down with about 90% junk. The usual class acts have nice stuff, such as Iras4 and BigD for example. Most of the online dealers that I check out don't have much eye appealing stuff.

    I have found one nice coin on ebay that I may bid on. I do have several on my "watch" page to watch for a good deal.

    Come to the Darkside.... There is alot of paper I'd like that I can't afford right now but not much in happening on the coin front.
