that you had stumbled upon the current series your working on long ago image

It's a thought that comes to mind for me a lot when paging through older auction catalogs for research.

A few are sales that I actually attended but unfortunately just had no interest at the time as I was engrossed in other areas.

    For me with classic commems and how old I am when I would have started collecting them? Unless you are talking just after the commem crash.

    Being that your still a young whippersnapper I guess this question is aimed more at seasoned collectors who are showing signs of gray hair! image

    I know what you're talking about after missing a could of coins that I haven't got a second shoot at but everything happens for a reason and I did manage to miss a couple of series price jumps that have hit my core so.

    Have you considered that you are now collecting a series you will later discard when you stumble on a different love you regret not collecting today? image

    I have wished I started my current series sooner - but not much.

    However I am especially glad I got out of one series in 2007 before values declined sharply.

    Of course I do and you know well what I collect .............

    Nowadays tho, the internet and quality photography via the internet has changed the game so much that it makes the current time fairly awesome.

    Yes, youth is a great time to start learning anything. When you are young
    and don't really have any money, you are forced to just observe
    and study and maybe buy a few "cheap lessons" that stick in
    your mind forever!
    I really wish I would have stuck to my plan of saving a new roll
    of quarters every year since the late 1960s
