Been so long I hope this is a good place to post. Haven't collected any coins or even bought any bullion for about 4 years, sadly my last job that paid well was discontinued and have only been working part time. Been wanting to restart my collection as I had to sell all of what I had to help pay bills so though it be motivation to visit the site again and make some post. For those of you that don't know me I am really into Walking Liberty Half's and Standing Liberty Quarters, I do like Morgans and Peace dollars but find the two first mentioned coins to be the most beautiful I have ever seen. Well anyway, look forward to seeing what everyone posts and to see what comes along my way.
Welcome back, Joey! I know how it feels when you have no choice about selling your "prized possessions". Chris
Thanks 9ball, I am feeling more motivated already, I am going to be up near the Reno area so I am going to make sure and hit up a shop or 2.
Be sure to check out the Cal Neva Casino on Virginia Ave. They use to have two or three 25c slots that paid out silver dollars and/or SAE's. It's been quite a while since I was there, but it's worth a shot. Chris
You know I am sure my grandfather has been there as I am going with him so I will certainly check it out, Thanks.
Been there, done that. Nice to know your coin passion has returned, despite the downside of going from well paid full-time, to part-time! Been waiting since October, 2012 for L&I, OWCP to adjudicate my on-the-job injury claim, so I know how frustrating and down you can get. It's great that you are back, wish you the best of the best in rebuilding your coin collection. Have a question for you about mint sets; Have you ever broken out the coins and submitted them for grading to increase/verify their value? Thanks!
No, I have never broken out mint sets to send them in for grading but that was mostly due to never getting the chance to do so. I imagine that once my collection has grown and I have the funds to do so then I just might break some out and send them off for grading.
The reason I'm curious about that strate The reason I'm curious about that strategy is that I have several early mint sets which contain individual coins that are worth much more than the entire set by themselves. Assuming a breakout would grade above MS-60. Thanks again and good luck in all of your collecting fortunes.
Well Cal Neva has upgraded to the newer method of payout even though they still have the coin trays at the bottom of the machines. Was looking forward to hearing some ching ching........
