[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1394028, member: 15929"]I'd: 1. Stick with the Lincolns you already have. 2. Forget about the Coin Show other than to simply look around. 3. Take your $40 and start buying $25 boxes and look for some WAM's or other nice varieties. The upside is that, if you do find some WAM's or even transitional varieties, you can sell them to continue to fund your collecting interests. That is, as long as you have them. I'd kinda question the "I lost interest for a [I][B]few[/B][/I] days so I sold it all" though as it seems fairly short sighted. Most folks that lose "interest for a few days" do not jump to such a wild extreme and then ask the best way to recover. And why on earth would you get "depressed" when it came time to buy the key dates? If anything at all, you should be excited! Unless, of course you hate to commit the money for them in which case I'd wonder why I was even collecting. Coin collectors are not MADE. You can sterr someone in a specific direction and "hope" they'll be interested. They are either interested and committed Iwith ibvious logical reasoning) or they are not. Start searching raw Lincolns and find out if this is what YOU really want to do. If you dont get serious after going through 2500 Lincolns then nothing will kick start your fires.[/QUOTE]
