<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2573710, member: 10461&quot;]Dont let the online &quot;Lord&quot; title fool you.&nbsp; In point of fact, I am a mere peasant.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a low-ranking hotel night clerk whose hourly wage would not be much above the minimum wage in some states.&nbsp; I live paycheck-to-paycheck with little in the way of savings (<i>except</i> for these coins), and I drove a succession of 20-year-old clunker vehicles until I finally had to bite the bullet and make payments on a better (used) car.&nbsp; I live in rural Georgia in a small, rundown singlewide mobile home with holes in the roof and floor.&nbsp; When not dressed for work at the hotel, I look like a redneck trucker: protruding belly, missing teeth, and all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does <i>that</i> answer your question?&nbsp; LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>But seriously, after forty years of being an impoverished collector, I wanted to pursue some quality coins.&nbsp; The only way for me to pull that off was to sell <i>all the other collections </i>I had built in the prior twenty years and roll them all into this one box of twenty coins.&nbsp; By keeping the collection small (for one to come in, I have to sell another one), and gradually, gradually upgrading over the years, I&#039;ve come to this.&nbsp; It still isn&#039;t up there with some of the elite collections I&#039;ve seen, but I&#039;m proud of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And thank you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh- and also- don&#039;t be fooled by the fact that I&#039;ve just posted a long succession of nice coins.&nbsp; I am in the process of transferring the collection threads from Collectors Universe over to here, which is why you see several pieces a day.&nbsp; In reality, I only add to the Box of 20 two, three, or four times on a quarterly basis.&nbsp; Now that it&#039;s all been transferred, there won&#039;t be any new threads until I write up the latest purchases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
