When people start referring to your collection as a hoard?

As usual, GR58, awesome coins and great photos. I always enjoy your posts.
And to answer the topic question... never!

I am not sure. I pick up all the ones I can when they come into my drawer at the bank. I am at 63 now...not sure where the crap I am going to store them either! :(

Good golly, it's the GR58 hoard of Ike dollars. My take on this, knowing your love for quarters, is that you will have too many Ikes when you have more Ikes than quarters. Hehe. Cascade mentioned Redfield's thoughts on his personal Morgan dollar bank vault. What is utterly fascinating to me is that there was never any evidence that he even opened a single bag. No checking for rare dates/mms. Truly bizarre and fascinating. But, after all, Redfield was not a collector. He just preferred hard money, and he certainly didn't trust the banks. This leads me to the Big Sky Hoard. I wonder if that prominent Montana family (the owners) ever checked on those coins during the many years they were being stored. Why did they save them? Why 220,000? Could they only get 220 bags at that particular time? How many bags were 77-D? 78-D? Lots of questions to peek my interest. I'm glad the Eisenhower series has a famous hoard to call its own. I'm currently working on a BSH subset. My goal is to obtain every date/mm that was discovered in the hoard. I also have a bank box of 500 Ikes and then some. I think of them as my mini hoard. |

If you really 'need' the extra two 1972 relief varieties, then make it 36. Otherwise. one of each is all I needed.

Seeing some interesting post here .. thanks all. ------------------------------------------------- I am pretty sure I will never have as many dollars as Redfield or Big Sky, but if I never sell then it should get up to a good number for a middle class collector like me. I have been buying more 40% Ike's this year, so the number has not increased as much, then if I was buying clad. If things do slow down, I do think I would like to do another monster box of Ike's. I have been trying to add to my dime, quarter and half boxes as well .. so no one denomination is increase that much. I did pick up 6 more rolls of Washington quarters and another Dansco P/D album (complete). Plus a couple of 2009 silver quarter sets. So I think my Washington 1999 to date quarters are approaching 10,000 coins. Here are a couple more Ike's I did pick up this weekend, the quality is not very good, so good chance they will be busted out and put into a roll of other 40% dollars.     |

I am not sure what other two you are adding to make it 36, although it should be noted that there are 36 holes int he Dansco album (four unlabeled extra holes). Quote:
