I'm afraid to get hooked on something new, are you?

lkeigwin

I don't know commemoratives much. I have a few I like but I'm not ready to jump in and collect seriously (though maybe this is a good time...prices seem depressed?).

Still, I couldn't resist this one. Even JA liked it. Now I'm afraid to look further. Do all of us have addictive natures?

I like sticking to my guns when working on a collection, but this forum is changing that more and more everyday. There's too much cool stuff out there and alot is posted here, making things worse for me.

I'm all over the place with my collection. But I wouldn't throw a lot of money in anything without do a little homework first. I would be scared too knowing that there is endless amounts of information you must know before stepping into another path. I try to stay in the cents for the most part but when something catches my eye I must go for it after a crunch on here reading about it. Like right now I am looking to get a blue toned coin for my 3 yr old son (his favorite color)and have no idea yet what to look for. I am looking for info on them and if you or anybody has any information about them please pm me. Thanks

My new "addiction". Even more expensive than drugs!

Ya, but you can always sell them to buy the drugs

Whenever I get bored with my series of choice, I always have holes in my Type Set to fill. I'm working on a book around the Classic Commem series of coins so you know how I feel about them.

I somehow went astray from my commem set and have been buying up nice medals and so-called dollars. It kinda makes me mad. I could have filled a few holes with the money I have spent on the damn things. Im a sucker for beautiful discs, no matter what they are.

Maybe a set of those blinders that horses wear would help keep us on trak

Started a new collection recently for items related to the NW. It's been alot of fun already.

I love so many different coins I should start a type set. However, I'm working on a 1950-present proof set and that will keep me busy for a while. Especially the 1950-1960 cams and dcams.

Getting hooked and appreciating the craftsmanship associated with a series are different... but collecting is also about developing an appreciation for quality... getting hooked I suppose is the end result

I actually just bought my first two pieces of Currency this week. I hope it doesnt become another addiction. Just love the artwork.

Standing Liberty Quarters have been screaming at me lately. SCREAMING. I'm very afraid of where this is headed.

Yes.

It's called "Golf" and it's driving me nuts.

I gave up being a strictly commem guy, there was just too much neat stuff around to limit myself!

Barbercoin

Funny, I have been debating going after commems. After seeing that OP showing that Oregon Trail, I may jump today.

ambro51

Nope. at age 54 just bought my very first carton of Winstons. Looking forward to a nice addiction!






































just kidding.

This past year or so, I have stuck to the want list for various sets. I've made a good deal of progress, starting with about 12 coins on the list, now half way through, so I see it as a good thing. Before this year, I often bought stuff just because it looked cool, or seemed a bargain. I didn't make much progress that way.

Collect what you like and enjoy the hobby.

OnlyGoldIsMoney

No. In the last three years I have sold off modern proof, Buffalo Nickel, Mercury Dime and Walker sets to focus on 19th century gold. I've enjoyed concentrating on one set and I don't miss the distractions.

Whenever Morgans start to bore me, I roll search nickels, cents & halves (if the bank ever has any).

I'm not really spending money, there's no guilt, and it's fun!

At coin shows/auctions I'm focused usually on Morgans though.
