[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 40599, member: 824"]Ahhhhhh...The difference between collecting and hoarding. The coins that make my grade and warrant display in anything from an Intercept Shield 2x2 in an Eagle folder, or 2x2 cardboards in a 3 ring binder, or Dansco albums are part of my [U]collection[/U]. They are inventoried with an excel spreadsheet with columns listing all of the important stuff including date purchased, cost, grade, mintage numbers and any varieties. Also, just as a general price guide, I list the Redbook figures for the year in EF40, AU50, MS60, MS63, and MS65/PR65 conditions. The coins that don't make the above are in a sealed in tupperware "bucket" and hence, are being hoarded. I guess someday they may end up on ebay and sold as "unsearched, discovered in a coin nut's house." Until then, I hoard them and the coins without dates (like Buffalo Nickels), I like to use as part of a tip when I have breakfast. Matter of fact, the ladies call me the golden dollar because I like to get rolls of SAC dollars and use them for tips. At least I am trying to circulate the freakin' dollar coin.[/QUOTE]
