I wouldn't say lucky, he probably paid most of it as he went. I graduated with my MBA with zero in student loans, I paid for it as I went. :)
You sound very much like me Provotdo. I had to pull myself up by my bootstraps also, and was the first grandchild on my parents side to ever...
You were the ONLY sane voice on CT Yak? Maybe I should go back and look to see what Cloud and I were saying back then. ;)

I have a few, but I think I am busy enough for now with Sassanid, Sogdian, Kushan, Skythian, etc. Never know though, I have been known to be...

Oregon Trail. To me, this one ranks next to the buffalo nickel in beauty and US cultural importance in design. Beautiful coin that really...

I agree with TC and Cloud that you USUALLY recoup this premium, but at a point OP you are right that you wouldn't. Two things going on with...
