You don't have to spend a ton to have fun with coins ...

Here's my recent eBay activity ... eBay summary I'm pretty pleased with my haul, some nice toners, some potential CAMs and even a nice roll to pick through. My spending totaled about $100. I could be even more delighted once everything arrives. I fear too many newbies or aspiring numismatists out there think the only way to compile a nice collection is to spend hundreds per coin ... ah, it's more fun to pick around in the trenches for bargains!

    hey Randy

    maybe you saw my Cleveland Show thread, maybe not, but many newbies or aspiring numismatists in the Cleveland area could compile a nice collection by attending that show and leaving their money at home!!!

    just change the city's name and the same applies every weekend around the country. invest in the future for free!!!!

    Washington $2, Merc $2 and the roosie $1, there is a limit to how much of this kind of material a person wants and it will quickly over fill
    the "box of twenty", but I love it and it keeps a person busy between bigger buys.

    I like your choices. Zero downside, and all fun stuff.
    Developing theory is what we are meant to do as academic researchers
    and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor
