You have a problem! You, too, are a hoarder! :D
I feel your pain! And, for the two of us, admitting we have a problem is the first step to the road to recovery! Looks like you're closer to...
I agree with you wholeheartedly. There is no law about how or what anyone "should" collect. Collect what you want, how you want, as long as it...
I agree that some types aren't collected solely based on rarity/price. It's no fun collecting if you can find/afford to get the coins you're...
I was thinking about my collection, coin types I like to collect and why. For those of you who don't know me that well, my collection has been all...

Ohhh, that poor thing! Looks like he got stuck on the bottom of someone's shoe and slid around a parking lot for a day! OTOH, any time you find...
I believe there were two crests/pins that were created the color one in my OP, and a B&W (or maybe Black & Gold???) one, if I recall. I was...
I think it was after....more like 2000-2005ish???
Yes, I know you remember it! I was there at that time, but, luckily, I wasn't dragged into that mess!
There might have been some excited "discussions", but most of us got along pretty well! :)

Thanks for the additional info, @halfcent1793. I have lots to learn about early copper if I decide I want to have at least some focus on it in the...
I can't tell from the pics, but if there's wear, then AU-58 is probably right. But, IMO, an MS-60 is generally not an attractive coin, at least...
Thanks for the info on EAC, John! I think it’s just a bit insane that NGC can see my 1851 as MS-61 (I honestly don’t see enough hits to warrant...
So, going back to my two coins. The Heritage Auction listed them as: 1851 1C N-21, R.3. MS62 Brown NGC. XF45 EAC. Grellman state b. Chocolate...
I read somewhere that NGC overgraded many of Reiver's collectioin. Not sure if that's true or not. What do you all think? Or, what is the general...
You have some great interactions and great stories! Some day, I have to get myself some friends like these!!! :) Gotta actually get to some coin...
