<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 422352, member: 12718&quot;]My wife tells me that I have evolved into a frickin nerd! She&#039;s not quite sure what to make of my coin obsession that has bitten hard in the last year. She is wondering why I am so excited to visit the coin boards, read the industry periodicals, order books, and visit coin shows.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For me, my evolution has been from minnow to a small frog in the development chain of this hobby. I had to decide to sell my low end stuff for melt so that I could have money for some nicer coins. While I have never been a series collector, I am trying to be very selective in what I buy even if there isn&#039;t a particular theme I&#039;m following. This is challenging because I&#039;m impatient and must save money to get what I want. My biggest test was my decision to put my Fugio on lay away and pay for it over time. Man, was that tough for me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, now I want to buy higher end stuff, but I realize I can&#039;t do it without saving money and being patient. Probably not a bad thing to do in this high priced market. I&#039;m really thinking about 18th century English Conder tokens now so as to be able to buy uncirc for a lower price than early type U.S. coins. Plus, there is always a story behind each token. That&#039;s where I am now on my particular evolutionary path! Guess I&#039;m just like stainless in being all over the place in our collecting history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
