It's official, I have hundreds of proof and mint sets, hundreds of rolls, a volumes of raw uncirculated silver coins... and I have looked at everyone too many time. I need a fresh supply.

    Sell them all and start over in a new series...half cents or large cents, maybe?

    If you were to sell the 10 $5K coins and buy the one $50K coin how long before you got your fill of looking at it?

    I have some very nice permanent coins in my collection that I enjoy looking at but I love the treasure hunt aspect of finding nice coins. Just need a fix by finding an original collection of early mint and proof sets and original rolls. Not asking for much image

    If you have any KILLER 1958 mint sets you could always sell them to me, and then with your cash you could buy some new stuff.

    I'd say sell 'em, but then I would be a hypocrite. image

    It would take a looooong time for me to get tired of looking at the *right* $50K coin. image

    Check 'em for varieties...that should keep you occupied for a while!

    In honestly gasp everytime I see your type set. You gotta get some good pictures of all your coins up there. AMAZING!!!

    I don't think you could touch a 93-S in au58 for $50K, but I imagine it could get pretty mundane lookat-wise after a spell.

    Same here!

    Although every time I look at them which is pretty often btw I found something that I didn't notice before. It especially helps when you have a spectacular Mark Goodman photograph to study right next to you at the same time. >>

    I always hope to find a new one to add to the fold, but I'm so glad I took a lot of pictures over the last couple of years ...

    recently I have been trying to crop and edit a lot of these pictures,
    and I'm finding that for many of these (which I don't see often),
    I get to fall in love with them all over again.

    If you go to the price guide you can pick a lot of coins out by their coin number. Click on the number and you can see some nice ones. It's where I get my fix.
