    I know a collector on the west coast who has put together over 40 sets of Barber halves, and that was before he bought another $100K worth of Barbers from a recently deceased Life long Barber collector.

    It is never enough! There is no end!

    When I can fill a typical-sized master bedroom with so many coins you could not even get in the door.

    No Really its not the size of the collection, its the what you do with it is the key.

    ,,,lol key, no pun intended.

    never

    it is a sickness and replacement for other things missing in ones life

    not a good replacement but for the person it is his or her own choice

    as that is what life is mainly about choices

    i hope you make all the right ones

    When my wife actually send me official legal documents telling me she has had enough walking around the Coin World's, greysheets and empty boxes of the various coins that are safely stored in offsite sdafe deposit boxes.

    In fact, I do own the world's largest Delaware Quarter (made out of cardboard) and used at the various Wal Mart stores when the first Quarters came out in 1999. My wife hates it.

    I already have enough coins.........Wait! Another one just came up for auction........And another one, and so on, and so on.............image
  • CoulportCoulport Posts: 1,087 ✭✭✭
    I thought I had reached that point.
    Told my wife to not let me buy any coins at the upcoming show.
    Course, I told her that at the last show to no avail.
    Will probably repeat the same events.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Kinda reminds me of that scene in Wall Street where Charlie Sheen confronts Gecko and asks " How much
    is enough? "

    Anyway, back in 1972, my collection consisted of some 1940's and 50's wheaties, a few 40's and 50's nickels, a few foreign coins, a couple of common date Indian Cents, a 1942 Mercury Dime and a 1916d Barber Quarter. And I told myself " When I have a Buffalo Nickel, my collection will be complete!"
  • Conder101Conder101 Posts: 10,536 ✭
    And you have been carefully staying away from buffalo nickels ever since.

    Never. The point of the hobby is to keep going and going.

    Now I am trying to get rid of the quantity and focus on the quality. As far as ever having enough quality coins, never.

    When I have enough high quality coins that everyone acknoledges it as "The Levin Collection"

    Guess I'm at least 1 % there !!!

    Enough coins? Never. I don't think I can go more than a week without purchasing a coin. Probably couldn't go more than a day without thinking of purchasing one and I probably couldn't go more than a few seconds without thinking of coins in some way or another. And they said guys only think about....
  • dorkkarldorkkarl Posts: 12,691 ✭✭✭
    more coins!!!
