Selling my collection to buy.............

koinkrazy

Selling my collection of seated quarters, ranked 4th at Ngc registry, to buy some good ole Iowa dirt, a farm. Am I nuts???!!!!! Oh I forgot, looking for anyone else that wants to invest in some dirt to, the more the merrier

Whatever makes you happy in life. You only go around one time then you have to get off.

I would make the same decision in a heartbeat. Ranches are fun. Get some horsies.

poorguy

Land, the only thing worth fightin' for. It's the only thing that lasts.

Cladiator

Crops? Meat Ranch? Dairy Farm? What ya talkin' about here?

Bruceswar

If it is in Iowa, it will be Corn or Soy Beams. One of my friends up there says thats all they have in that state. As he puts it "Corn and G** SH**"

cladking

Will there be a name change in your future? ...Maybe "KornKrazy".

Good luck.

Daryl,

I know what you are going through. I am in the process of putting a deal together on some land for our future home. The property is within 10 miles of Dahlonega as the crow flies, but is about 40 minutes by car. Although I'm not selling my collection, this will certainly put a damper on future available coin funds. This house has always been a dream of mine. If you want a farm...follow your dream.

Nothing beats land!

I don't know about Iowa, but dirt appreciates nicely in my part of the country.

Besides, you don't have to worry about a 1 point difference

CarsonCityGold

Any details on how & when you'll be selling your set??

thezookrew

Hey, I agree there is nothing like a ranch/farm/land. We have 50 acres north of Austin, Texas just waiting for my coins to appreciate enough to put the ranch on it (and yes, there will be 'horsies' and longhorns!!)

jabba

You bought the farm! I just picked up a lot in the Yuma Arizona foot hill's and will have it paid for by the time I retire.

Darkmane

I'm from Iowa!

Sioux City!

If you're going to be anywhere in the northwest portion of the state, PM me!

thezookrew

Ok, this is a combo - coin collecting and farms.....HMMMMM......Two things that go great together?!?! Like Kibbles and Bits!

The lifestyle is awesome! You'll never regret it, and you can get back into coins at whatever pace you want to.

Neat website. I might order from it.

Am I the only one who read this link differently the first time? I read Seed Saver Sex Change.

There are a lot of tax benefits for farmers. You should check with your accountant or friendly tax lawyer.

Selling my collection...to buy...a farm

Did the same thing last year to raise the down payment to buy my Grandfathers farm and keep it in the family. Havn't regretted it a bit...and actually helped me get more focused in my collecting. Good luck on the Iowa project. Havn't spent much time there, but I hear its good pheasant country...so it's O.K. with me!

koinkrazy

Hey Greg, There are pheasants everywhere, most mornings this winter I would look out my window and see about a dozens of them feeding around my trees. If you like pheasant hunting you need to come up here, canadian geese also all over, many spend the summer here they are about to start nesting now in the next 2 weeks.

..............Once your into coins .......You'll always come back.................

golddustin

Here's a coincidence - I just happened to pull out an old CoinAge issue that was printed when the Iowa quarter was released...finished the article last evening! It went into quite a bit of depth about the agricultural heritage of the state, and mentioned several times about the extremely fertile soil left behind by the glacier flows. Corn & soybeans it is, indeed, these days, according to the article.

Maybe you'll end up getting rich on ethanol when the government finally realizes that we need to cut our reliance on foreign energy....ADM buys you out in 10 years and you can get your set back and then some!

rmoss

Just don't start hearing voices and plow it up to build a baseball field.



Good Luck

??? "seed saver sex change"??? Am I reading that right!!??







boogers. carl beat me to it!

carl

I grew up on a farm. My ex wife was from a farm. That ended my liking farms. I'll stick to coins. They don't run off with the neighbors.

BobaFett72

congrats! save a few coins and "plant" them...maybe they will multiply
