<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 1788225, member: 26972&quot;]Ive collected/hoarded all my change all my life. My grandfather saved his pennies during the war years. my father was left&nbsp; his fathers&#039;&nbsp; hoard in seventies which subsequently make it to my basement/attic/garage/mini-storage around &#039;92. About 3 or is it 4 years ago, I found my self with time and wants to down size.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;I get to the coins and start researching value, organizing for appraisal.&nbsp; Complete missing sets..&nbsp; I quickly realized that the 30 years of collecting coins taught me nothing compared to what I have learned in the last 3 years of serious minusmatics....hehe</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;When I started I quickly found within the establishment a certain peculiar yet stereotypical behavior. that doesn&#039;t sit well with my personality..&nbsp;&nbsp; I ended up</p><p>scratching my head in confusion, (when considering my other activities and involved interests) on ...&nbsp; ah ftig that....m&nbsp;&nbsp; anyways..and for the last 2 years have actively only studied one coin with the thinking that I could apply things learned to other denominations. I needed to regroup. SO i started creating a grading set. right away. with in a couple months I change my thinking to a Study Set.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I chose the 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent 2 years ago and I think I am finally very close to being complete.&nbsp; Some tangents like&nbsp; early middle and late stage or trying to prove that the MPL dies were indeed used for Business strikes is where I&#039;ve stopped .&nbsp; Its been interesting, the weather is cooling the outside&nbsp; -projects nearly complete.&nbsp; I ve got new imaging gear, I am getting back on the boards that i haven&#039;t been banned from... figuring this winter I&#039;ll be updating these sets..&nbsp; along with actively selling a large portion since it appears my kids 21 &amp; 19 now only want to know what the coins can be sold for.&nbsp; Ha..!&nbsp;&nbsp; the buck... ok ok the cents stop here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
