Hi I'm a coinaholic and....

I have not spent any money on coins in over 1 month now. image

It feels really strange but the longer I go the easier it seems to pass up on coins I need in hopes of finding something better. I can literally focus my attention better now.

Strange, really strange.

    the reason you did not buy anything is because most everything
    for sale is either:

    A. common as the dirt you walk on
    B. ugly as sin
    C. outside our area of interest
    D. priced to the moon and back, round trip fair.

    That's part of it too. In the mean time I have been learning like crazy. I have been in touch with John McCloskey learning about varieties and rarity in the series I am currently focused on. This really allows me to look for more important examples in the many examples that seem to have surfaced recently.

    due to lower income, I will be only be collecting information for the unforseeable future. That is almost as much fun as buying coins though, .........ALMOST.

    I haven't spent any money on coins for 2 weeks or so.

    Not for lack of want, just haven't seen any that I like!

    Congratulations, Ben!!! However, like assorted other people on this thread, I suspect this period will end with a pop. I made it in essence for 2 months the early part of this year, and then in mid-March went on a mini-binge. Have Fun!

    Actually, it's not that I have not tried, I have dealers looking for a specific example of one coin I want but no one seems to be able to find it.

    At some point, like AA does for drunks, someone should give you a coin to remind you of your accomplishment. However, that does not seem very therapeutic.

    Happens to me all the time.

    I'll go a month or 2 and see nothing on-line, in person at shows or in a coin shop, then...

    BAM!!

    all of a sudden there are 5-6 coins I would love to have but money for only 2-3 of them.

    Weird...
