To be honest, I never expected the special enhanced Eagle to reach the heights it has achieved. I would have predicted $500-$750, tops.
What say you about 2019?
And PS...how the hell is it 2020? I feel like it was just Y2K! This is like living in a bad sci-fi movie!

2019 was a good year for coin collecting and firearms. And I agree... it was just Y2K...now 2020...WOW!!

Life is like a roll of toilet paper - the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes....
No S__t!!!
So, is that a positive or a negative?
I finished up my coin collections in 2019... (well my want list anyway) I'll still be going to shows occasionally and reviewing the NEWPS from several dealers emails I get "daily" but finding anything I want is going to be tough on a go forward basis... But you never know.
I really can't complain ... life has been good to me.

Not negative.
On to do my taxes.
I think 2019, in general, was pretty good.
2020 should be great for me, because I plan to finally finish my complete walker set..... God willing.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

The best year I've ever had, collecting wise.

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
Well I am broke because I am a fish that kept on getting hooked by cool coins.
At least 2019 was a year I got some nice proofs and gold 👍
For me, 2019 has been insanely good. I'm working on writing down all the notable events so I can remember it all!
That being said, I missed out a couple of big opportunities but you can't get everything. Those should be remembered too.
The market continued to tank. I don't put too much faith in the PCGS/CU 3000 index other than as a relative measure but we're almost at the same level we were in in 1994 (erasing all of the gains of the early 2000s).
If nothing else, we had a lot of fun here!

I would say a negative for me. Minimal purchases, put my money elsewhere.
Coin collecting....good! Peace Roy

Decent year for me.
Only negative was the Ebay taxes.
All positive for me. Pared down my collection to focus on (and acquired) some type coins I wanted. Hoping to do the same next Friday at FUN!
Positive !!!
positive
Yes, that was the only negative for me. The internet tax thing was shameful.
