Top Five Weekend Coin Hobby Observations

1- In coins, grade depends on overall condition.
2- Coins with eagles are just coins without eagles, with eagles.
3- Collecting coins doesn't matter if you like copper, silver, or gold. At the end of the day, it is night.
4- An excellent way of examining coins at night is to wait until the daytime.
5- Every 60 seconds of grading a coin, a minute passes.

Somewhere there is something to be said about much of nothing.

And every day ends and hopefully another one begins

And, every post has a beginning and an ending.

No one goes to coin shows anymore, it’s too crowded.

For every coin bought, there is a coin sold.

There are two sides to every story. There are three sides to every coin.

My interests in what to collect have changed more times (now that I am older) than girlfriends (when I was younger)

I would like to attend a nat'l US coin show but there are none in NYC. Thus, it would cost money to attend and I would rather use the dough to rent more coins.

Passionate coin collectors often live long as they fear that they will miss a deal the next day.

When I pull out a coin I purchased years ago they have so many flaws. Recent purchases, not as many. Wearing glasses as one ages does have an upside.

I do not own coins, I rent them for someone in the future to enjoy.

All my coins look better at night.

So good I see 2 of them.

I never had most of the coins I had.

If I had a dollar for every coin I purchased, I would still not have as much as I spent. Cheers, RickO

Unfortunately the way we have defined time after one day ends another can't begin until after midnight has occurred.

Not even the UN can fix this problem because no time exists between the onset and end of midnight they don't know when to start.

We create and maintain most of our problems just to have something to do.

Mebbe one of these days we'll get stuck at or right before midnight.

When you ‘win’ a coin in a major auction, all you did was pay more than anyone in the world thought it was worth.
In what other game does ‘losing’ mean you get to keep all your money?
