It is about 15 days until the end of the year. it is easier to use my coin journal to list the newest coins in my collection. Therefore, most coins will be listed in order of denomination. The last 3 will be the exceptions since I have only recently started my Barber coin sets and they are listed in the back. First up is my 1899 Indian Head Cent. She is a PF-62RB and is in an old white small ANAC holder. (This theme SM/WHT) may be repeated several times thru the retrospect. Pre-covid I had a rather nice set of MS/PF Indian cents. This starter coin came my way via Great Collections in March. James
Nice coin! I am looking forward to seeing you document your 2025 purchases. If I am understanding you correctly, you sold that set and are starting a new one?
@geekpryde . Yes. I am self employed and in March of 2020 when covid struck I was put into the position of knowing (for however long), I would have to get by without my primary income. ( I own a cleaning service that specializes in refinishing commercial tile floors.) community centers, hair salons, bars, resturants, government offices, you name it; all closed or no longer needing my services. On the plus side I did own approximately 125 thousand dollars in certified coins. Everything was put on the table. Every 90 days i did a Great Collections sale. When the situatuion improved and I was once again able to go back to my regular work load, I had about 15 thousand in coins left. I did not spend that time away from the hobby though. I have lived thru several crisis situations in my life and I knew someday the wheel of life would turn. I spent my time putting together exactly what "NEW" coins I wanted and have since late Spring of 2022, been building my new sets. I do hope to explain as I go just why I sought certain coins and where they fit in my collecting journey. Thank you for asking. James
