    I have a friend that has a collection of about 65 cents face that makes me cry.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    That is a humorous perspective.... and a sobering one.... add up the face value of your collection, and then add up the acquisition prices of the same coins....Nah, never mind... :D Cheers, RickO

    LOL! That's awesome. I am not done with my box of $20 but, I have a gold Piece and a lot of dollars. Will be interesting to see what it ends up at.

    As long as someone else will pay over face like we did, it's all good.

    $13 here, but only 13 in the series. Can't get a box of twenty without dupes!

    Taking into account silver melt, I'd have $27.14

    That got me thinking about my Capped Bust Half Dime set. 123 marriages and remarriages of which I had 118 (as I recall).
    Melt value $69.62, face value $5.90

    I don't have an official box of twenty, but if I did pick my favorite 20, the smallest denomination I have is a $2 1/2.

    It's a sobering thought....The million-dollar top ranking Walker full sets have a face value of $32.50.

    And if you don't have the right insurance, that's what you'll get.

    20 x 20c = $4

  • au58au58 Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭

    I thought you were headed toward a giveaway.
    The closest to the composition of the box by denomination, type, date and mintmark, grade, CAC or no, etc. wins the whole box.
    No??

    Made me laugh :D

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
