Coin purchases for 2010/review Well today is my last coin shop visit for 2010. I go once a month and this is my day for December. I have spent about twice as much as last year, which by the way was the first year for me to get back into my child hood hobby after a 30+ year break. Got two kids thru College and also married off two girls, so you can understand what my money priorities were. Now it's my turn. :smile Mostly I have been filling in the holes for the sets I am going after. What's ironic is part of my purchases are upgrades to the stuff I got as a kid, but that's part of my strategy. I want the sets I am chasing to be as pristine as possible (budget wise). Sooner or later this stops and I will have those KEYS facing me. I bought some real nice coins this years, including a couple of "KEYS". I am having a blast and glad to have a new hobby. I am the only one in my family (all sides) that likes coins, but they also support my new addiction. Bought some coins from people I met on this forum and each time was a pleasant experience by the way. This year I also went to the Fort Worth show and I plan to go in 2011. Even met Penny Lady at the show. I hope one day to get a couple of coins from her. Signed up for Coin World and just trying to soak up all I can. I still have a lot to learn and this forum is a primary source. May 2011 be good for all of us..:thumb:
Tex, you sure do have 2011 on the mind... "Well today is my last coin shop visit for 2011." Happy New Year and Happy Collecting in the New Year!
Sounds like you had a great year, I hope 2011 brings you closer to your goal of completing some of those sets! Happy New Year!
