<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8102540, member: 24754"]Ya, I'm off to a fast start. In pretty short order I put together enough coins so that I can look at it and think, "Ya, that's an official collection". <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie82" alt=":shy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, I've blown through my starter budget, so the splurge has come to an end. Now the trick will be getting used to obtaining coins at a more reasonable rate, at least reasonable with respect to my financial capabilities. Hopefully I won't be like the guy that has gotten too used to betting too much at the blackjack table!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ya, it didn't seem like a top tenner to me, but I really liked the coin so I worked it in. It's really interesting to me that you, Zumbly, [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER], and [USER=100070]@happy_collector[/USER] rank it among your top few.

[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8102540, member: 24754"]Ya, I'm off to a fast start. In pretty short order I put together enough coins so that I can look at it and think, "Ya, that's an official collection". :shy: Unfortunately, I've blown through my starter budget, so the splurge has come to an end.
