    I had a wonderful local show today! My boss gave me a few Mint State early commems' to sell and a 1921 Peace in MS-62.
    Not only did I sell that one for him, but I bought one for $100 and sold it a few minutes later for $125. The spread on that
    issue isn't great, as junky ones are bid at $80 and AU is $125. But nevertheless it is still one more coin I got to own to help shape
    my career.

    At a coin show a few months ago I bought a $5 national bank note from Ilion, NY, for $100 and sold it for $250 a few minutes later.
    I gotta say I am extremely happy and thrilled God gave me a start in the career of kings. :D

    Remind me of what that career might be... dealer or collector?

    I hear ya chief... and does this job pay well? Have an excellent benefits package with great health coverage? 401K? Paid holidays and vacation? Christmas bonus? Probably not....

    The idea is you make enough to cover all that jazz.

    Well I think it's cool. Congrats on making some nice transactions, even if you dont get a 401(k). Oh wait, I work and dont have one of these either, and I am not in the coin business. Wish I did, but no reason not to go into the profession you are clearly excited about. Have to get your LLC/S-corp, or whatever you are, a SIMPLE IRA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMPLE_IRA
