<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 21412160, member: 100459"]Over the years (75) I have collected coins off and on again, never really get interested in a coin collection until I was 49 and I inherited half interest in my father's collection. My brother and I split the collection. Anyway, when I went over the list of coins my father had, I started my collection. My brother shipped my half of the collection in a cardboard box. My father collected coins but was not a coin collector. I still wasn't too interested in the coins until I put a towel on my desk and looked at each coin, one by one. Then it hit me. However, when your get hit by the coin collecting frenzy, sometimes you lose tract of what you needed to do. Thanks to a great gut, I was able to understand what was ahead of me. I had my ups and downs, mostly downs when you first start collecting. I wanted every coin that was advertised which almost broke me and my wife. Luckily, she laid down the groundwork. I was allowed to buy one coin a week with a weekly budget of $50. I was grateful for her guidance and support. I bought an American Gold One Ounce Proof Coin for 2015 for $1,300. Last month I bought one for $21. What a rip off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
