Message:: [QUOTE="jakoman, post: 1748661, member: 50646"]What it comes down to is I got out of collecting for a long time.  If I see something shiney that I can make a buck on I might pick it up,  but that is no more than a side note.   When gold and silver  were high I cashed out on the common and modern coins that I had,  I miss them but do not regret getting rid of them seeing that I bought the ones I sold with that intention.  The only one I got rid of that I didn't really want to would be a 3 cent nickel that paid my bills for a couple months.   I think I wouldn't mind picking up some lots, mixed or unmixed to start rebuilding.   When I bought coins before it was as an investment,  unless it was a proof, in a holder, or a penny..  yes the penny hunt is fun for me.  I am ready to start looking some fillers, and some random lots to look through and make them books heavy again, lol.   And maybe another mystery to solve like the Standing Liberty Type 1 I have that took almost an hour with a dealer to find through markers what year it was seeing that the last 2 of the date were worn away and it was in what I started with when I first started collecting.    I do want to try to find some more 3 cent,  MS morgans, and other keepers.  But the only way I will buy anything expensive is in person or from a source that other collectors trust.  So pretty much Herritage or a place that I ask about here, lol.[/QUOTE]
