Do You Ever Feel Like You Just Can't Catch Up

Unopened packages, overflowing storage boxes, and a feeling like you will never catch up.



What a great feeling.​

I have a couple of pounds of LRB's on the back burner

 

Don't wait too long, one of these could be waiting!

 

Now that's a LOT! :-o

Yes, I can relate to the "just-can't-catch-up" feeling. Some months back I purchased a very large lot of uncleaned bronzes. It consumed many weeks of my spare time. Shortly before I got to the end of going through them, I realized it was close to becoming a dreaded chore rather than an enjoyable pasttime. That was a sad realization. But I finally finished!

Yet... now I miss it. :-(

 

Looks like a terrible problem, I will send you my address.

 

No.

 

At the present time it’s just a natural part of life to me. I don’t even notice it anymore.

 

That's my one and only coin collecting rule, no unidentified group lots. I see some long weekends with cold beverages ahead for you.

 

That's how I have found some of my rarest coins. I frequently buy group lots because of one or two coins and then the rest get tossed into a jar.

 

You can always bury them and let someone else dig them up in a thousand years or so.

 

Sneak them onto Oak Island and watch Gary Drayton and company go crazy with theories about Roman Legionnaires being on the island.

 

Sad to say that I have a couple thousand ancients (mainly BCE) and gold coins (mainly moderns) that are not catalogued. Promised myself that when I retired I would catalog everything. Nope. Not yet, and have an upcoming trip that is taking my time right now...
