<p>[QUOTE=&quot;olero, post: 2237762, member: 75504&quot;]I start collecting in the late 70s and early 80s. Then I was a beginner and at 1st I signed up for a program by Bowers &amp; Ruddy where&nbsp; I would send them $100 per month. And they would send me different coins. To this day I still have every coin they sent me. I don&#039;t buy coins to make a profit (all though that would be nice).</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably never will sell anything unless I get hungry or can&#039;t pay the bills</p><p><br /></p><p>I just looked to see what one of the coins that I bought from B&amp;R (1943D Walking Liberty Half MS67). I paid $59 for it then.Another one is a 1926D Standing Liberty Quarter MS65 (not full head) I don&#039;t remember what I paid for it. I can&#039;t believe what these go for now. Another example, I bought a 1799 Draped Bust Dollar XF40 from Steve Ivy Auctions in Dallas that had some minor scratches on the reverse. I worried that I paid to much for it then. I am sure not worried now.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is to &quot;collect what you like&quot; as long as you don&#039;t put your family into hock.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been out of the collecting seine for awhile buy now that I am retired I have more time to devote to it. And enjoying it even more. </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way I am still a beginner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
