    Stagnant. Not finding much to buy, not many holes I can afford to fill.

    Stagnant. I have been too busy with other things to think about it much.

    I did look at some older Chinese pieces and thought about restarting that part the collection.

    in a scattered state of rebirth
    some are morphing from raw to holdered...or they walk the plank
    some will get the plank no matter how bad they plea on their knees
    some parts are feeling neglected as....missing comrades still are missing while new immigrants debark into this group's status

    all in all...in a general state of love
    sorry to say though
    no matty for x-mas giveaway...this year

    everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see

    Timing?
    Mostly sold. Reinvested $$ in equities. Sell equities in future. Upgrade gold thereafter.

    Growing slowly but surely. Now as in the past I have tried
    to buy expensive keys (1909-S VDB) and semi-expensive (1931-S).
    In the series that I collect I rarely have the opportunity to
    follow this method. Oh well!!

    Really slow.
    Only 3 coins, all high grade toughies in my want list and they can wait because prices on them aren't going up now.

    This. Have sold most everything which doesn't suit me. Have sold more than I bought in the last three years. Am finding out many expensively priced maxed out coins which don't interest me.

    Hardly anything left. Priced out of anything I'd be interested in owning. I'm now a numismatist and not a collector.

    So you figured coin collecting wasn't geeky enough already what it needed was for star trek references to get it over the hump?image

    Only added 2 coins this year , sold 3 no longer wanted.

    Price and availability the main reasons.

    If the coin is not 100% all there and a wowzer, I pass now.

    Forever growing. I very much enjoy what I'm doing here with my collection. I love the hunt.
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    My collection continued to grow this year, but in the area of exonumia, contemporary counterfeits, and electrotypes. No purchases during the last few months, however. This year, I spent more money on numismatic literature than on coins/tokens/medals.

    Thinning the herd.
    I need to sell off anything that is not part of my main type set.

    Growing at a much slower pace as the more common dates have been acquired.
