It's all Good...'07 nm $10 Indian

Wow, I got it today and I have to thank y'all, every one of ya! Spent some time lurking here then came on in here. Since that time, I've just been letting the soup make and watching the kettle and reading everything I can find on this series. And then I visited a local old tyme coin shop a few times and picked up some nice coins while getting to know the guys and now I feel very good about collecting coins again.

Today it came...an ms 61 '09 $10 nm Indian (description w/photo to come). Will send photos tomorrow when I can get to a scanner and work out something under 50 kb. Got the coin from Heritage and I'm still trying to figure the difference between paying a dealer the $15% over the average wholesale bid, or paying it to Heritage but regardless, Heritage had the coin and before this I had never even seen one other than in photos, they are just not around to where you can find them. As a side note, it is plenty of fun going to the dealer and I get some nice information everytime I go and I like them and it is a cool shop with lots of coins so it is kind of like a candy shop/social visit/coin expedition all at one time. The best part of the dealer visits is that you get to have the coins in your hand, at least for a moment until your wallet alarm starts going off.

If it were not for the dealer selling me a $10 ms63 well struck Indian a while back (just to see if the hook was set) and if it were not for this board, I would have never have found myself with my fingers wrapped around this '07 so thanks to the boardmembers and thanks to Mr. Dealer! I would not have had the confidence or the understanding if it were not for the very nice bibliographies that come across here or if it were not for the educated and sometimes profane discussions that come across here and I know I'm opiniated and nonetheless been treated kindly, so Thanks again. Photos tomorrow.

Mike

    mhammerman: You described the wonderful feeling of walking into a coin store quite well. I remember those days, fondly.

    Your wallet alarm? What about the spousal alarm? THAT is scary.

    Don't keep thanking us. After you get hopelessly hooked you might reconsider! image
