If so, please PM me. I have something you will want. NOT a coin.

    Yeah. I keep them in the special vault I had built in the old dungeon of my French chateau. I converted the other half of the old dungeon into a subterranean garage, where I keep the Maserati, the Lotus, two Ferraris, the Rolls, the Bentley, and the Lamborghini. My private vault is a nice quiet spot to contemplate coins at the end of a long day at Monte Carlo- practically no noise comes down from the helicopter pad on the roof. image

    Why is there a Joe Walsh tune in my head, now? image

    Why yes, I just need one more coin to complete my entire set of Libs & Saints. Looking for a PQ 1933 prefer a NGC slab. image

    Yep, have two of them, I am off to a slow start, I figure I'll finish in about 200 years.

    Hmm, up real early this morning! Had to answer this question.

    Yea, the heart is willing and indeed was lucky to pick up an 1861-O a few years ago (raw - in a Accugrade holder which qualifies as raw) plus a few VF-EF graded dates in the 1870's for under $325 each but that is it so far. The heart is willing but the brain says am I nuts or what??????????????????

    Why do you think I confine myself to only MS-67 or better Liberties? Think about that for a minute! It is cheaper than the alternative!

    I thought about that for a minute - and then it hit me... you are right. Getting all of them is too expensive. image

    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.

    I thought about collecting them raw, but the risk of buying genuine ones unslabbed would be to great for me. I have some slabbed - guess I could always break them out.

    Something like this, maybe?:
    (To the tune of "Life's Been Good")

    "I have a grading service, forget the price, They slab all my stuff as MS-65
    I like auctions and go to them all, I think I'll blow 10 mil on a super-rarity, ya'll
    That 1933 cost about $7.9, But it's got an awfully nice orginal gold shine
    Life's been good to me so far
    My Double Eagles are my pride, But one was counterfeit - I HATE PCI!
    My 1804 dollar sits in the bank, I'll put it on the Registry, just as a prank
    I'm making Price Realized records, the consignors they can't wait
    I write Coin World letters, and on this forum I debate
    So I got me an office, gold coins on the wall
    Oh, did I tell you, my name's David Hall!"

    Ok, I'll stop now!
