Does anyone feel my pain.... What's your story?

coinsarefun

I have only been collecting for three years now. I started on the moderns. Trying to focus and so far collecting Walkers, Franklins, Morgan's. Of course I have the miscellaneous albums such as ASE's, Lincoln Cents, Jefferson nickels. Ect.....
And of course I just Gotta have TONERS.
I always looked at the So Called dollars, tokens and medals and told myself NO until you get more focused on what your doing now and guess what happened. YEP,

Seller's Pictures, don't have them yet, but you'll no when I do






Share your story, I can't be the only one

I have good news..soon you will realize there is no way you have the $$$$ to collect all that stuff and you will sell a lot of it off to concentrate on a few favorites and couple of nothings you really like.

No idea what you are talking about.

Focus? What's that? Is there a difference between ocd and focus when it comes to coin collecting? My focus is that I will someday own a very very nice Pine Tree Shilling. Other than that, I buy the coins that I know I will enjoy for years and years without regard for how much I will net out when I sell them.

In the meantime, Moderns do quite nicely for me in terms of beautiful, well-executed proof surfaces and Toners rock my world when I can sit and look at the colors splashing off one of my Roosies, Frankies, Washies or Kennedy Halves. And Plats - oh, yeah!

Very true,

I strayed quite a bit from my original collecting goal, I am now in the process of selling many of those things off to focus on my core collection.

I can relate...especially when you start collecting foreign.

I've always been a sucker for these, too:



Collect what makes you go "oooohhhhh yeahhhhhhh"

(BTW - nice medals!)
