<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1513767, member: 10103"]The tough decision part is where to draw the line regarding this collection. Many of you know that my major passion for collecting resides in commemorative issues and as I add to the classic branch (moderns are a passion too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) I'm finding it more and more difficult to obtain what I need with an eye toward affordability. Cut to the chase people, this collection is becoming expensive to maintain in mint state, so my collecting endeavor has resulted in obtaining AU examples of the rarer issues. I don't have to have the best example out there.....just one that I'm proud to add to my collection. It's the coin slob (remember that thread?) in me I guess. The blue collar collection of sorts (picked that tag line up from a very good friend who collects Busties). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And hey, what the heck.....a nice AU coin could wind up in an MS-62 or '63 holder on another (better) day, right? Rationalization and mitigation aside, this arrived today.......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]196277.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm a sucker for coins that portray (or at least attempt to) Danial Boone. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
