family member who is not a coin collector got me that Stone Mountain coin. It means more to me than a uncirculated one. I will praise this every time. I am a huge supporter of the sentimental value. Those first two Ikes I got (see signature link) will not win any beauty contests, nor will I ever upgrade them.  No need to delete this thread. There are plenty of us who appreciate you sharing. Do not take the suggestions the wrong way. In the end you will collect what makes you happy.  |

 to the community,120grain keep at it!! Don't stop until you get them all. Its a mighty task but don't let anyone discourage you from taking it to the end. You are off to a good start. Just upgrade as you can. If the stone mountain from a family member means something to you, don't ever let it go. |

Thanks for the kind words, I guess I forgot to say I was going to put together a circulated set like nickelsearcher. I am sorry I got so annoyed about the grafitti on the Stone Mountain coin. Coin collecting is supposed to be fun so I will lighten up lol.

I just got another coin to fill a spot on the first page of my album. The lame optimizer won't allow me to save changes on my picture so you will have to take my word for it. The newest coin is a vf35 PCGS graded California sequential. I really like this coin, the gold miner and the grizzley bear, and am torn for which side to display lol.

and nice start. It's always nice to hear a new member started something new because of an existing members posts! Sometimes when uploading pictures I have to run the download through and save it a second time to make it work. Keep trying and sharing!! |

Hey Nicklesearcher,
I have tried on my iPhone to post up pics but just haven't figured out how too. The Wisconsin coin you helped me find is one of the stars of my type
collection.

120grain, I like your approach to collecting commems, some comments have almost scoffed at the Idea but all were just offering their best advice and trying to be helpful.
I got my first commem a few years ago. I really only wanted an example of each regardless of condition but the first one was in very nice shape and I have been picky ever since. Getting nicer examples cost quite a few bucks more so my budget doesn't allow me to get as many as I would like. Had I stayed true to my initial thinking (somewhat like yours) I would have many more commems than the ten I do now but I feel I would desire coins in better condition in the end.
Just another opinion for you.
Good luck with your search.
