[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2766828, member: 10461"]Having cashed in a semi-forgotten IRA CD to pay some bills, I'm in the unusual (for me) situation of actually having money to go on a little coin-buying spree (after taking care of some responsible things first, of course). The 1810 third-guinea above was a fluke. I wasn't supposed to win it at that bid level. Yes, the Box of 20 is expanding to a Box of 25. It has actually been in a 25-slot slab box for more than a year. I just haven't used the extra slots. Now I've filled them and might still need to trim a few pieces. Eventually ([I]soon[/I], actually) I'm gonna run out of "mad money" and go back to being my usual impoverished self, but at least the credit card will be paid off and who knows, I might actually have some modest "savings" left in the bank (a previously alien concept to me). Wait- I still have two more small, old goldies to post, and two silvers as well...[/QUOTE]
