My First Coin Purchase in Over Three Years!

When I started collecting I decided that I wanted to have a small quality collection instead of a large one focused on quantity. I am by no means wealthy, but by saving for years to get only one coin, I've been able to make some nice purchases. The last coin I bought was in December of 2017 so I've had a little over three years to save up and browse for the next coin worthy of my collection. Last month I found one I liked that would fit my collection and for a price I was happy with. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the newest member of my collection, an 1806 $5 in MS61. Now back to saving so I can make another purchase in a couple years.

Geeze!

I woulda waited 3 years for that one!

You suck!

congrats

 

Oh my word!!! She is absolutely a lady worth waiting for.

 

Such a beautiful coin!

 

Gorgeous coin! Wow!

 

Well worth the wait. Stunning !

 

I love that design although I know some people aren't so enamored of it. Great looking coin and I admire your self-control.

 

Hello Arthur,
You are my kind of collector... & congrats on an exceptional choice.
Hope to see another of yours in 3 years,
J.T.

 

Ooh! You made me drool on my keyboard. What a beauty!

 

That took plenty of patience and it paid off with a fantastic coin!

 

Certainly a coin worth waiting for! Jeez, no coin purchases in three years? You are certainly, "Master of Your Domain".

 

Very nice! Congrats!!!

 

You have more patience than I did when I was building my early U.S. coin type set. I used to be limited to one or two big coins a year. I don't think I could have waited for three years before pulling the trigger on something.

 

Incredible coin! Well done!

 

Great discipline. Nice coin, too.

 

“Patience is a virtue” comes to mind. Beautiful coin, I can’t wait to see your next post in 2024 (pun intended)!

 

Nice!!!

 

Any turban head gold is special; that's a really nice example and I admire your restraint in saving your funds and waiting for the right coin.

 

I could learn something from you. What a beauty.

 

Wow what a fantastic coin! Congrats!
