<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lardan, post: 8332243, member: 138663&quot;]I was a pretty active member of this forum ten to thirteen years ago, and I quit adding to&nbsp; our collection. This caused me to quit everything connected to coins except I would annually buy 22 ASE&#039;s. Two for our two raw collections and 20 for down the road. I&#039;m behind on that also by a year because it is hard for me to believe the spread between spot and coat to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our collection consists of the two sets of ASE&#039;s I mentioned above, Buffalo Nickels I think&nbsp; range from VF to AU, Peace Dollars, Eisenhower Dollars, Roosevelt Dimes (1964 and earlier), beautiful set of war nickels and a few other things I started. Those unfinished I will complete over the next few months except the Indian Head Cents. It will be doubtful, due to the expense, if it will ever be complete.</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago I bought an album that was titled Lincoln Cents 1959- (actually is full when the 2010s are present). I got this idea from here in roll hunting forum. I must have looked through a hundred rolls and was suprised how good alot of these coins looked from the rolls. I think the album holds approximately one-hundred coins and including the cost of the album I have less than a hundred dollars in it.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I have noticed since getting involved again is television sales are still definitely overpriced. Second there used to be an old saying &quot;buy the coin, not the slab&quot;. This is an individual decision, but it seems to me too much emphasis is now on the label in the slab. First Strike, First Day of Issue, Advanced Release, Gold Label, Black Label. and others. I saw some ASE&#039;s recently that had states name in them. There are alot of labels now with signatures. As I previously wrote individual decison, but not for me. But most importantly it really feels great to be back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
