    << <i>I am very good at losing money on coins. I can buy a coin and flip

    it in 24 hours for a 30% loss. Its a heck of a skill. Not only that, but

    I can do it over and over again without any limitation. >>



    And I thought I was the only one blessed with that skill!

    Possible strengths:

    Humility: I don't over estimate my strengths.
    Caution: I am not impulsive. I listen to advice and analyze the rationale.
    Selectivity: I purchase coins from only a few people whom I trust. I value integrity; If someone fails me they lost me.
    Excellent Library: Invaluable resource.
    Educatable: I study and try to learn. It is an ongoing process
    Forward thinking: I do not dwell on past mistakes but never forget a lesson learned.

    Weaknesses: A very long list but recognizing areas for improvement is a strength.

    Are you still talking about coins? image

    I have a long memory, I'm a pretty good cherrypicker (some varieties more than others), and I'm confident in my ability to grade Lincoln cents and Jefferson nickels. This is a much shorter list than my shortcomings. image

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I have three main strengths,

    I have maintained my love and appreciation for beautiful coins.

    I have finally learned how to select really top of the grade coins

    I really enjoy the interchange with other collectors, in person

    and on the Forum
    There once was a place called
    Camelotimage
