Keets, if that's true, why do I now own eight 1915 Panama Canal Medals, thanks to you!

I was standing there on the bourse floor at the ANA in Portland this weekend. Watching the hurly-burly of activity, and I certainly was reminded that numismatics is lot bigger world than our little pond here at the PCGS forum.
It was something to behold.
I didn't buy a single coin. Which isn't anything to brag about. The stars just didn't line up. Now, in my earlier days, I would have gotten desperate to find something.
I think your post is a simple truth. Those are the best kind.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
are you talking about the medals that commemorate the crossing, the ones that are numbered?? i've seen about 4-5 listed in the past year but have waited for one with either a low or peculiar number.
i've picked up a good habit since coming to the forum. whenever i start considering a series for type that i'm unfamiliar with, i actually try to bone up on it and do quite a bit of looking before i buy. that is certainly an area where the internet has helped. we can check out new coins almost daily from the comfort of our homes, though nothing really beats shops and shows.

If you ask me, this is a good formula for being a responsible adult!
