Anyway...it's exciting for me

I know a lot of you seasoned veterans have boxes and boxes of slabbed coins but I just finished filling my first PCGS blue box today. It's loaded up with PR69DCAM state quarters (missing 2000 set is on the way) that my godson and I collect. I have a few other PCGS slabs in another blue box but I wanted to bunch all the states together and use other boxes for other types for presentation purposes. I have a few NGC in an NGC box.

Go ahead... make fun of my quarters or my small number of boxes... I'm still excited (godson too) and that's all that counts image

I can think of a dozen reasons not to have high capacity magazines, but it's the reasons I haven't thought about that I need them.

    That`s pretty cool.image Still the most important thing in this hobby is the " fun factor " and collecting and sharing what you enjoy. imageimage

    No one is going to make fun of your collection. It's what you enjoy, and that's great. The number of boxes is irrelevant.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    That's cool! Keep it up! I still love to fill the PCGS boxes and it never becomes something dull for me to do! In fact, last night, I organized all the new purchases into date, denomination, grade and placed them in the blue boxes.

    Finishing anything is always a rush, a set, a series, etc.
    Enjoy the moment!

    The longer I collect, the fewer coins I seem to keep for the long term. I love em all though. Have fun with your collection. Be fussy
    about which coins you add, make sure you like them, you are the only one you have to please.

    Nah! Don't worry, we only make fun of people who collect AH Kennedys and Electric Kool-Aid colored nickels.image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    I think that's great! and if you complete your state quarters and then move on to older silver ones, and then learn to appreciate the older types, even if slightly worn from circulation, you might enjoy that too!

    Hell, you've got more slabs than I do. No problems with that, except that I now feel inferior.

    Nice job ! I just reached that milestone myself ( Morgans).
    I rewarded myself with an Eagle album.
    Holds the slabs nicely and you don't have to pull them out
    of the box to view them.
