<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 4637224, member: 31286&quot;]A little follow up - a nice looking 1840D quarter eagle -&nbsp; VF35 details (ANACS -&nbsp; removed from jewelry) sold on Heritage last nite.&nbsp; I put a couple of bids on it - it looked like a decent piece - sold for over 4K.&nbsp; I would have gone 3K but even then I probably wouldn&#039;t have felt all that good about it.&nbsp; I&#039;m beginning to doubt I will ever get to 100% in my 1840 mint set.&nbsp; Oh well, there are obviously far more important things to deal with these days.&nbsp; I hope everyone is staying safe.&nbsp; Seems like a lot of the folks who participate in this forum are, like me, &quot;of a certain age&quot;&nbsp; (baby boomers?).&nbsp; Enjoy the life you have.&nbsp; One reason I collect things is a vision of when I&#039;m gone my grandchildren will see this stuff and think &quot;wow, he had some really cool stuff&quot;.&nbsp; I also collect old pocket knives and some musical instruments - I have a chromatic harmonica museum on a shelf in my office.&nbsp; Fortunately all of these things are small (most of my musical instruments are small, harmonicas, violins, etc.&nbsp; I don&#039;t &quot;collect&quot; guitars).&nbsp; I have friends who collect guitars and some who collect old cars!&nbsp; They have to build humidified rooms and garages just to take care of them.&nbsp; Wow![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
