My fellow collectors I have decided to leave the hobby after many many many years of collecting and selling.Since Annie passed my interest has waned to a point where the interest is not there besides being too costly on one retirement/ss income.I have two offers on the collectiandon from two well known buyers in the State.
I want to thank you all for your support through my wifes illness and passing and for all the answers I received from many forum members
during my years on the Forum.

Good luck and Good health to all and Happy collecting.

    I started as a coin Guy on these boards, and have slowly got to know a few on this side of things. I don't know you at all, but what I would like to say is I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful Wife, and the selling of your collection. Like many on these boards have said, its free to stop by and say HI. Please come back and let all of us know how you are doing and we will leave the light on for ya.

    Take care,

    Paul.

    Later, Paul.

    hi Tony---don't know you either, but with so many people saying good things about you I am sure you are an honorable man. My best to you after the loss of your wife. Though a big part of everyone's life on these boards, it is only cardboard. Enjoy the memories you shared with your wife and this great hobby!
