Yes, waiter. I'll have the double white meat with the hardy yellow garnish on a bed of lettuce with a nice chaser.

Unfortunately that black thingy at the bottom of the page will be more valuable in the future...
I knew it would happen.
I started early this year but I have a very low budget. Anyway, my first piece was the UHR.
What do you think?
I paid it 30 bucks when silver was at 16!
And it doesn't look I can't find them for much less...
Yeah, and please save that honkin' proof libertad in the middle of the page for me and that kookaboro too!

The proof Libertads are beautiful, but I think the 2 oz. Aztec Calendar is amazing! These mexicans know how to make coins!
Nice stack and good work... better put those lincolns back in its sealed box...
A couple of Engelhard Prospectors would be a good addition.
What's the peculiarity of the Prospectors? They look nice but I have never heard about them till now.
I was thinking to add some Engelhard bars and Silver Kruggerands. Can't afford gold or palladium now.
The lincoln usually resides in the original mint box, not sealed though...I did open them!
Do you think they will tarnish? One of my 2 proof sets already did!

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
I would vac seal (or the like) the lincolns and the golden dollars... in fact I would seal-up anything .999 silver if the future condition mattered to me...
I don't want to seal them all, they are in air-tite, it should be enough. I love to watch my coins, this is why I buy them.
Let me tell you this story. My dad has a big collection (in Italy) and he has just one small wall-safe for the most valuable coin.
All the others are in a cabinet in our living room.
When I was kid, I asked him if he was afraid that somebody could come and steal his collection.
He replied to me: " That would mean they needed it".
It was an exaggeration, of course, but I think it gives you the idea of his feelings in collecting coins.
How do you say in english, like father, like son. Right?
MkMan, thank you and everyone else for the comments. It is the first time I show my small collection and I have appreciated all your opinions.
My friends are not interested in coins (thanks God, so they bought some Lincoln Chronicles sets for me!) so it make no sense to let them see it.
Sorry for the long post. (I saw longer ones, though!)
<< <i> so it make no sense to let them see it. >>
Very wise choice.. Always downplay your collection when someone ask about it..
I always keep some low end Morgans around to satisfy curiosity.. I might even mention they can get some
as well for about 15 bucks at the coin shop...
