Good Lord, have I lost it????

Fellow board members, confidants, and members of the asylum,
You may recall this Thread from last weekend where I confided that I purchased my first seriously toned coin.

Just today, I mailed a check to Wondercoin for a modern! A 2002-P Sacagawea in MS68. HAVE I LOST MY MIND? Is there any hope for me? Can someone please help me return to the path of pre-1965 Type coins?

Honestly, I was checking out a friend's collection and was admiring a Sac in 68. It was so well struck and lustrous, I thought why not take the plunge. Looks like my type set just expanded into moderns!

    Yep, you've lost it! Listen to some Johnny Burnette & the Rock'n Roll Trio from 1955-57 and you will feel better!

  • I will not talk you out of it. I find the SAC an attractive coin in high grade.Now you need a really nice Ike. I also just bought my first toned coin after swearing I would only collect blast white.The really crazy part is that I am now looking for a few more toned coins. But I have decided to collect just toned proof Jeffersons.

    Well, I guess when it all comes down to it... it's just a matter of timing. Look at the bright side. You set would be envied by the collectors of 3002 image. ...if there's anyone left...

    First TONED.

    Then MODERNS.

    What's next?! The "DarkSide"?

    Once hooked there is no hope.
    There will never be any hope.

    All you can do is enjoy the ride.
