<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1393917, member: 15518"]Don't feel alone... I sold my original collection in 1969 in order to get married; a collection that included complete sets of Lincoln's (with high grade keys), buffalo nickels, mercury dimes, SLQ's (less the key dates), Walkers (less the key dates), complete Peace dollars, dozens of high grade Morgans and plenty of "type" coins (including an uncirculated twenty cent piece and three dollar gold piece). After the marriage fell apart, I was semi-depressed about my collection for years, especially as coin values escalated. But, like marriage, I gave them both a second chance... and since then have never looked back. I would just buy what appeals to you; start slow, and as your expendable income increases, so will your collection. One thing about coin collecting: most of us have experienced periods of time where we lose interest; not totally, but sometimes we get diverted by other priorities. And one other thing, even if you don't have a single coin in your collection, you can still love the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
