I need to get control of myself.......

ER

....before I go broke!
I think I am done buying coins for this year (control yourself boy!).

So far this year, I have bought (among others):

1795 Flowing Hair Dollar silver plug PCGS VF25
1795 Flowing Hair Dollar 2 leaves NGC VF25
1796 Draped Bust Dollar ------------- NGC XF45
1836 Gobrecht Dollar ----------------- PCGS PR40
1859S Deated Dollar ------------------ NGC AU53
1878S Trade Dollar -------------------- NGC MS64
1892CC Morgan Dollar ---------------- NGC MS65
1934D Peace Dollar -------------------- NGC MS65
1976S Type I IKE ----------------------- NGC MS68

Love the silver dollar. Trying to built a complete date-run set of silver dollars from Flowing Hair to Peace.
I think that's about 95 coins. So, I only have 87 more to go. My guess is about ten years.
What do you think? Don't you find coin collecting (not dealing) very addicting?

papabeartoo

it's getting that way.

Show us some pics! I Always love to look at early US coins in nice circulated grades!

KlectorKid

Yes coin collecting very addicting but its worse if u dont have any money to keep up with it.

Uh Oh!
Now I need to go buy myself a scanner or a camera for the pictures.
You think scanner will be better?

KlectorKid

Hmm I use a camera. A scanner doesnt get deep mirrors well but with early mintstate coinage I dont think it really matters.

Coin collecting, boats, electronic equipment, cars, women are all addictive ... choose your priorities well (i.e. finish that darn silver dollar run by this year) ...

wow, talk about an expensive hobby! and you say you started with statehood quarters just last year?

Very addicting. It drives my wife crazy. She is supportive of my collecting but still teases me, she can't understand how I can spend so much time looking at my coins and reading the coin magazines and books.
