[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 731067, member: 307"]We must be kindred spirits, Leadfoot because as I was reading the thread I was thinking this exact same thing. I don't have very much money to spend on coins, so I accumulate it and when I see a coin that I really want then I purchase it. I don't actively pursue any coins other than the yearly mint packaged proof and mint sets. An example of this was early last year when I ran into a nice 1942 Proof Jefferson Nickel. The shop that I work for had bought it in a wholesale lot and offered it to me because of my interest in Jeffersons for $25. I am actually thinking about sending this one off to PCGS because IMHO it is better than PF-65 and it displays cameo devices. Not ultra cameo, but cameo and slabbed it may command at auction a bit more than I could resist for a $25 coin. I REALLY like it tho, so I would then be on the horns of a dilemma as to whether or not to sell.[/QUOTE]
