you're priced out of the market.

The coins I buy are raw and low quality; consequently, they are affordable.

Actually, I'm not. I'm a from change collector with all my "key coin" purchases behind me.
Lets get interest rates rising and real estate bubbles bursting so I can buy more coins.

steals in others. It's a tough time to collect US coins but there are still some that
are cheap.

I feel your pain.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

not to chase coins. I buy nice coins,at realistic prices and
prepare for the worst that is to come. Remember, things always seem
fantastic, just before the final curtain falls.

I've felt priced out of the market ever since I got my first Redbook at age 11. All these cool coins I wanted to collect but couldn't sell my soul to get.
In the meantime, I've had lots of fun with $10 to $500 coins 20 years ago this budget let me buy a nice Flowing Hair Half dollar for my type set. Now I've narrowed my focus to the Dansco 7070 and circulated Barber coins.
Changing focus to enjoy the hobby within one's budget is the name of the game. In the early '80s. when my prep school and college classmates were going to law school, medical school, or business school to prepare themselves for a high-maintenance lifestyle, I moved to Ghana. That experience taught me how to enjoy life among the freindliest people on the planet, even though there were times during hyperinflation when the local currency couldn't buy anything other than onions, peppers, or palm wine.
Tonight I had fun going through my duplicate FR and AG Barber halves trying to discern mintmarks which were 3/4 obliterated. If the economy really tanks andcoins become the hobby of the wealthiest, I'll still have a few albums stashed away for contemplation.
I'm convinced that there are no boring coins, only collectors which are bored with most of them. I can't afford to be bored with my coins.
