[QUOTE="samclemens3991, post: 26140418, member: 82181"]I have been collecting coins for 57 years so a lot of water has gone under the bridge. I have bought and sold hundreds of coins in my lifetime. I will just specify where I am at right now. I currently have been selling off a small group of coins each Spring. The coins I am selling are coins i have held at least 15 years but many are coins i have had more than 30 years. It gives me an opportunity to reap some rather large price increases that have happened. At the same time it allows me a little better budget to pursue my current interests. I currently have been focused on building a Seated Dime set that includes: The 1837 to 1840 period of coins before the Ball design occurred. I have also tried to add a group of Fortin top 100 pieces. To be even more specific I have been building a variety set for the year 1838. I also have some specific goals concerning other Seated denominations but 95% of my collecting is focused on pre 1853 coins. Last of all I love Proof Indian cents and have started collecting a small group of them. Oh and I have made a point of getting some of the old small white ANAC holders back into my collection. Always had a crush on them. Thanks for asking. James[/QUOTE]
