How soon does the excitement wear off your new coins ?

It's a legitimate question.

My guess is that it wears off a lot faster than when buying an old one.

    As soon as it's sold, but not before...

    Not until it's sold. As long as I own it, there's some periodic excitement now and then, especially in the beginning.

    Certain coins just have that special 'feel'. That's how I know if it's a keeper or if it's just passing through.image

    It can last a few seconds or a long time. If I feel nothing for it after a while, then I usually trade it in for another.





    Edited to add: Or did you mean 'new' coins as in moderns? ( Although I have pretty much the same experience with them )

    It's variable. There are some coins for which the excitement wears off within minutes (ie. the KEY to the ENTIRE US GOLD SERIES image ) and others in which the excitement never wears off (Pine Tree Shilling, 61-D $5, Norweb 41-C $5, etc.).

    Let me get this back on track... LOL

    Okay, so I purchased this new, last year for $1078. I went to a show in Nebraska City where I took it with me. I didn't think anyone would be interested, but a fellow purchased it for $1225. I went back to the mint to get another one and they were sold out. I found one on ebay for $1400 plus... image

    The excitement didn't wear off. I want another set. Thanks for the laugh, Ken.

    If "new coins" equals, "new purchase", it depends. Some may lose appeal , excitement, in a day or two, others never lose their appeal to me. I'm getting close, for example, to owning my 1799 Drapped Bust dollar for 30 years, yet I never tire of looking at her, same goes for a 1837 large cent my Dad gave me 51 years ago.

    Then again, I bought a Morgan at an auction a few weeks ago, and when I got it home and really looked at it, I wasn't so thrilled to have it anymore....but the 1928 MS64+ Standing Liberty Quarter I also bought that day, I'm still lovin". image

    Back on track....Bought this one back, at a cheaper price, a month or so after I sold it. All of the newps do not hit the drawer the same day.

    Just wanted to add: I don't have a SDB now. I bought a half ton gun safe.
    I bought it the day after I bought my 1879 flow hair Stella!
    I never get tired of looking at that babe.
    After the five men delivered it, I drilled holes in the basement floor and bolted it down from the inside.
    I'd like to see the burglar who could carry that one off.
    Therefore, I can pull an album out and amuse myself with it for a while.

    It depends. Some aren't very exciting to begin with. Others still give me a warm fuzzy every time I see them, years after they came.

    Having said that, relatively few coins stay around here more than a few years. Those that hang on through the shakeups are the ones that still give good buzz.

    Excitement level? I'm excited until I update my inventory and throw it in the safe or sdb. It's not forgotten, but the excitement has changed focus now into hunting for the next coin. :-)

    For most of mine no matter what the condition I have not gotten tired of pulling the set out and carefully going through the varieties.

    I have even re-imaged many several times and I plan on doing it again.

    If I have gotten tired of something chances are it's gone and the time varied between minutes and months. If it lasts more than a year chance are its a life long holding.

    Nice job, Ken. How can we not get excited about selling a great coin and then buying it back for less. That's what I call the "Numismatic Stimulus Plan". image

    It depends on the coin. My main interest in in V nickels, and Morgans. But lately, I have discovered that I really enjoy ASE's and IKE's. Certain coins make me more excited than others, but I love them all. I would have to say "never". I hate parting with any of them really. Even the common ones.

    You have to define that unlike most folks you don't go home that often. image

    If you went home every day that would be an impressive statement. image

    Same here. I'm more excited about the coin I'm looking for than the coin I already own. The excitement is in the hunt.image
