<p>[QUOTE="Mark Kerner, post: 7864793, member: 113035"]I lived in an apartment in NYC with my folks back in the 70's. Was collecting Barber dimes, quarters, and halves. Not high quality condition coins, but loved them. Apartment was broken into and they were stolen. I think that happened twice (I try not to think about it). Years later, I started re-buying those and started collecting Morgan $1's. We had a baby nurse caring for my daughter. She walked out with whole a bunch of my collection, which was apparently not so well hidden in a closet. Never to be seen again. Now that I'm retired, I can't think of replacing what I had. I'd want them in better condition now, and they're probably out of reach. So now I'm concentrating on coins from West Point (not that I ever served) in Proof or MS70 and reverse proof coins. Also, I'm combing through new quarter rolls looking for the V75 privy's and errors. (After all, that's free, and keeps me from spending too much on the proof coins...NOT!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
