Message:: [QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 268462, member: 8012"]Here's a subject I haven't seen in a thread. What does everyone do to control and manage "coin clutter".  Here is what I mean. You may specialize in Lincoln cents or Morgan dollars, but you go to a coin show and there's an Indian Head for a give-away price and you can't resist.  So you buy it.  Then later, at the same show, you buy a "Blue Ike" because of the awesome luster.  Then You go home, check your favorite Internet place and find that you can get a complete set of Jefferson Nickels for $40.  You can't resist. Point here is>  I think all of us end up "colllecting" or "accumulating" a lot of numismatic (coin) stuff we don't REALLY want (or need) - but for whatever reason, we have it. How do you deal with this?  Do you have an "unclassified" drawer in your desk - or a small box for that stuff and what are the plans for dealing with it?  Of course, one option is to hand this stuff out to YN's, but I have bought some pretty costly stuff that I really don't want to give away. I know if you're really organized and are buying things at super prices, you'll be putting it on e-bay as soon as you get home. In any case, I am starting to get into this dilemma.  In previous lives, I collected sports cards and stamps and had the same problem.  I guess it's an addiction of sorts and I should probably seek qualified medical help. ANYWAYS, any ideas?  Any comments?[/QUOTE]
