    So, 2018, I am working more on quality versus quantity.

    I am trying to count all the coins I have, even the junky stuff, and also weigh them all.

    At the end of 2018, there will be 10% less, so that means anything I buy must cause an offset in more selling. I am also purging 1 "type" and right now, the poor, why do I have it, have not changed out a single coin since 1971, V nick set is shaking in it's boots.

    I thing I will be happier will less "stuff" to sort and move about, store, and relook at.

    why is the conclusion "wrong"?

    because the coins aren't selling(to anyone).

    There is medication to help you.

    Come on Keets you always have a lot to offer. Get out of your slump and start a set. How about doing a set of State commemoratives.

    Best place to buy !

    Currently in a slump myself.
    It's funny that when I've read about people slowing down, in the past, I thought that will never happen to me. And here we are.

    sparky and Kat, I have never been unable to find something I like and such is the case right now. there's stuff that interests me but most has to be bought via an image so I have hesitated. I also have a set I have been working on for about a year and a half that has me stopped with two coins I can absolutely not find. I have tried the BST to no avail, found a few examples that have minor problems, a few in off-brand holders and even one priced 2-3 grade levels ahead of the insert: that coin has been sitting in the inventory of a member dealer for about five months now.

    on the bright side, there is a medal I may win on eBay today unless the snipers get a little crazy. :)
