I sold my "soul" when I bought this one (one of my first commems) because I promised myself I would never spend this much on a coin

I haven't done it yet, but I am thinking about putting my wife up of auction at ebay. My only concern is that I won't get enough for her and will end up having to do my own cooking and laundry, and still not have enough for the coin I want!!!

Since I've put all my money in coins, I really don't have anything worth a squat to offer.

Sold nearly all of my company's stock options to built the seated dime collection that is the foundation of web-book at www.seateddimevarieties.com. Now I am nearly broke but have a heck of a dime collection.

I sold most of my old Beer Can Collection!

Coins take up a lot less room in storage than Beer Cans.

1907Quarter · October 31, 2005 1:38AM

old SPI wargames-remember them?!

JadeRareCoin · October 31, 2005 1:45AM

I personally have not sold anything to buy coins, but I recently heard that MadMarty sold his collection of rubber chickens on the Asian black market to buy a nice AU-58 Frankie.

RYK · October 31, 2005 1:50AM

I would like to ditch my stamps, baseball cards, and sports autographs, but I have not yet made the effort.

So are you saying that you will keep your collection of Beanie Babies??
