<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 345818, member: 4626"]Well my interest hasn't declined though financial necessities have forced me to cut back on purchases a bit lol... so cured that by going through a coin store's jumbo bucket of foreign coins for 25 cents each.

Have to get around to sorting and classifying all the Costa Rican coins I brought home last August. Ought to keep me busy until I can actually afford major coin purchases again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have also got into collecting US $2 bills, by series... a fun and not too expensive thing to do until you try going earlier than 1928.</p><p><br /></p><p>My type set has reached the point there's nothing I can add to it that costs less than $100. So that's on hold for a while until finances aren't so tight. Did get more operating captal by getting rid of a quarter eagle that on closer examination was heavily polished on the obverse (only cost me about melt, and I sold it for melt, so no big loss... in fact a slight gain due to the increased value of gold). Turned it into more coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
