[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3062077, member: 26302"]So with my job, two young boys, and school, I simply haven't spent much time really going over coins the last couple of years. Yesterday I got a chance to go through purchases for the last couple of years, put them in archival flips, etc. I have to say, it was a good time. While I tend to buy a pretty high quantity at times, I was very pleased with the quality of many pieces. I found a Vahran II that, while dark, it much better than my avatar. I found a spectacular high relief middle Sasanid that I didn't know they made in that high of quality. In total, I was able to fill up four red boxes of ancients yesterday and it felt good to do so. If you are a collector like me, its good to try to stop for a day and just spend all day playing with your coins. I am kind of looking forward to be able to get into my SDB one of these days. I have ancients in there I haven't set eyes on for more than a decade or more at this point. I know, at least for me, many times it is the thrill of the chase that we pursue with all of these sales available to us nowadays. However, once you own them, get more enjoyment out of your purchase and "visit" them from time to time. I know it lowered my blood pressure some just spending time with my little pieces of art. :)[/QUOTE]
