    Yes, but we all do. No there's no cure but buying coins is the only way to treat this illness. image

    Yep - you are obsessed.

    The only cure is to let the rest of us add to our hoards! image

    If that's the case, then it appears that I am doomed to be plagued by this disease. image

    Hoarding is healthy.

    Russ, you think you "may" be obsessed. What do you mean "may"? imageimageimage

    14 coins in the hoard - - the most I ever accumulated in a hoard was 9 1983 No S proof dimes. image

    The only problem I'm aware of is the variety is not designated by the TPG's, but should be. Almost all of the coins from that die pair are Dcam. Dr. Wiles even managed to miss them, but Rick Tomaska didn't. I'd say your decision to seek them out while everyone else sleeps is just a normal Russ reaction. image Hey Joe, how many AH's make a hoard. image

    Truth be told, this is nothing compared to my former Accented Hair hoard.

    Of course, it's unlikely I could ever accumulate that many Birthmark Dies.

    I never cared much for the boring Kennedy halves but those DCAM/CAM coins are very impressive. Nice collection.
