I don't own a business, house, new car, boat ,flat screen or any other high ticket item. I eat 99% of my meals at home, leftovers for lunch, store brand groceries. All this so I can do one thing that makes me happy...collecting coins. Until recently I like others collected the majority of my coins from circulation or paid very little for circulated coins. Now I save all the money I can so I can buy myself some nicer coins that I enjoy.
