Is this how hoarding begins?

Don't need this date for my collection - perfectly happy with the one I have. Just had the itch and thought this one had a pretty obverse. Am I heading down a dangrous road image

    Yes, and I have been guilty of it myself, more than a few times.... image

    But, if the price is right, and you like it, nothing wrong with it, imho.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I think youre still ok. youll know youre in trouble when you have stacks and stacks of them...the hallways narrow, rooms become 'unuseable' and instead of the floor you realize you are walking in a three foot thick layer of them.

    I think as long as the poster from CA with the 55 gallon plastic tubs of copper cents lined up in his garage is alive we are all safe from being called hoarders.

    There is a fine line between extensive collecting and hoarding.. However, most hoarders save EVERYTHING.... and collectors keep focused in one or two areas... JMO... Cheers, RickO

    Nice coin, and common enough that we don't have to worry about you cornering the market and driving up prices, Alain image

    If you are still asking then its not hoarding. When you stop asking...worry

    I`m guilty.

    Many times I`ve purchased a duplicate of the same coin for some sort of self reasoning image

    You`ll find it`s just as hard to let them go later on too...

    Ray, I think I see a 1909-S in VG on the floor, right there.

    "Hoarding"?

    I prefer to think of it as "accumulating and safeguarding."

    "Coin collecting problem"? What "coin collecting problem"?
