I hit the big 55 tomorrow.....

Show me a nice 1952 coin. Hopefully something in better shape then me. Or something in an AU-55!

It has been a wild ride. Ski bum, Flyfishing guide, criminal investigator, coin dealer, father, husband, son, care giver and human target, and the list goes on. It has been a tough year, my only nephew died while we were at Philmont Scout Ranch this summer of a brain tumor. His mom, my sister is dying of cancer too and we're hoping she makes it to Christmas. My 88 year old dad, who was awarded the Silver Star in WWII, fell and broke his hip at the airport a couple of months ago, because the TSA insisted he remove his shoes at security. I still have 4 kids at home, a couple that require some extra care, but I wouldn't trade them for all the Trade Dollars in China. (although I'd have to think hard if I were offered that PCGS SP-69 1793 Large Cent...)
I still get up at 5am every morning to fix breakfast for my wife and kids before they head to work and school. Yes, it's been a wild ride so far, but the best is yet to come!
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

    Aren't there some significant tax benefits about the age 55? Like in real estate, something to do with capital gains exemption?
