Coinage..top 12 coins for next year..Affordable???

Ogden

After looking at the top twelve I realize that I am a small collector. Appears the only coin in my price range is the Morgan 1882 S. Man, this hobby is getting expensive! What percentage of us can afford to invest in these type coins? Hopefully this hobby won't get so expensive no one can afford to collect!

To this day I still like to take out my old Whitman's penny board and look at the coins I assembled as a kid. They are all still in their original state, crud and all, yet they all still look sooo good. As we get older our coins get better (kind of like our toys) but, imagine the fun kids are having today putting together state quarter collections out of pocket change. My youngest daughter is putting together a state quarter map and I think she is enjoying it much much more than I am putting together the same coins in high MS and Proof . Sorry for the rant but I do still love to "collect" coins and looking at my old penny board (or some of Baley's boards) reminds me that collecting is still fun even if I can't afford (nor do I want to) the new 70 moderns. Rant off...

This is one reason I've largely left the slabbed world -- to friggen expensive! I like where I'm at right now. Darkside stuff, BU Jeffs, and BU lincolns. All raw. Except where needed to be slabbed or if I feel like slabbing anything.

Hmmm...no commems and no Dahlonega half eagles. Looks like another year of collecting losers for me.
