    I know, didn't want to highlight just one individual seller. But the collectors who follow the series will know which coins I'm talking about. :)

    Thanks For Looking

    I hear ya man, but I'm saving money (this year until...) for a trip to Ireland & Scotland. The wife has "lowered the boom" on my @$$. It's going to be a lean year (Numismatically Speaking) I'm afraid. LMAO :D

    Viper, it adds up fast, even at 2005-2006 prices. I don't know if you or some of the other/older members recall, but I was averaging 2+ of these babies (A WEEK) for over a year straight, along with my other odd numismatic purchases.

    As you can imagine it added up. But, business was booming to the point we had to hire help. For now it's turned into a wonderful investment which I hope to never have to rely on if the wolf comes sniffing at out door.

    I just spent my coin money on a late Christmas preasant for the kids. They will apreciate it but it was $400 out of the coin budget.

    I wish I had got back into collecting before the prices had went up. Hopefully they will come back down a little so I can add those bust halves and quarters to the collection. The more I see them the more I like them.:thumb:

    Steady... I'm in the same boat, the averge grade of my collection is VF-35/40. The highest grade I've given one is AU-55/58.

    "They" are great guys to deal with Bone- Ive known "them" for a while & do a lot of wholesale business with "them" --

    I am also in no way affiliated with "them" but I agree they are great dealers .

    Well considering I am a day late - you can always PM me with the sellers name, I can always use a good recommendation. I might have been able to recognize them yesterday, but sigh, it was a late night. My problem is keeping the ones I like under a $100 - and in the f/vf range. Not sure I can do that for every date. Not sure where I am going yet with these, but I do like bust coinage.
