[QUOTE="Bluenose, post: 358286, member: 13428"]My head is spinning and I have to admit it doesn't feel very good. As I decide on what I'd like to collect I just get more and more overwhelmed. Is this normal to begin with? My journey so far... 1. I want to collect ASE's. I thought it was just buying one bullion coin from 1986 on. Then I learn about proofs, reverse proofs, and now the unc W's. 2. I find out about Morgans and decide I really want to collect those, too. 3. Well, Morgans are dollars and ASE's are sort of dollars so I think why not collect dollars of all types? 4. Okay, that means Ikes, SBA's, Sackies, and Presidentials. 5. But, to get a good portion of them I have to buy mint sets. 6. Fine, but if I have to buy mint sets I'll have to buy two so I can break one apart. 7. Oh, and two proof sets. 8. Gee, don't mint sets have satin finish coins now? I guess that means rolls so I can get "uncirculated circulation" coins. 9. And don't forget silver proof sets. 10. Well, heck, if I have all these mint and proof sets why not start collecting mint and proof sets, too? 11. You know, I have all these proof sets and they contain the state quarters which are pretty nice so let's finish up that set. 12. And what about all these orphaned pennies, nickels, dimes, and halves from the broken mint sets? 13. And...and...and...[/QUOTE]
