Message:: [QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8291204, member: 100459"]I started collecting in 2014 when I got half of my father's coins.  I started buying from the Mint slowly.  I am selective on the Commemoratives, but I do buy what I like.  I have been buying ASE's (W/S/U), Limited Editions, any set that has ASE's in them, Silver Proof Sets. 1/10th oz gold coin each year.  I also buy selective $5 Gold Coins from some Commem sets, i.e., Basketball, etc.  I bought the 2017W UHD 1 Oz Gold and 1/10th Oz. I bought the 2021W UHD Bucking Horse 1 Oz Gold Coin.  I have the gold Dime, Quarter, and Walking Half set.  I bought 1 Gold Buffalo and many more.  If you are interested I have an EXCEL spreadsheet that lists all of my purchases from the Mint.  Since 2010 (or so), I have bought about $35K worth of coins from the Mint.  My gold coins or coin set with gold are in a secured location and locked up.  Having been a retired accountant for about 15 years, I had to have something to keep my mind sharp.I collect coins for enjoyment, not to buy and sell.  I don't know how much I would get out of any of my collection, but it keeps my wife from killing me by being underfoot.  She's retired also.  I have one coin that I want, but not enough to pay through the nose for it.  I want a 2021W 1/10th Ounce Gold Proof Coin, T-1.  I was able to get the T-2, but when I tried to get the T-1, the Mint was sold out and anyone selling the T-1, wants an arm and a leg for it.[/QUOTE]
