matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 2:07 pm So, I take it that this was a good trip for you: both for the sites and for the coins. As long as you are happy then that is all that matters. Do your parents encourage you? Or simply tolerate your obsession? You made quite a good haul. Our loss is Canada's gain.

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 2:47 pm Bangor is in Maine! Doesn't anyone watch Trailer Park Boys? ;) I'm totally jealous of your Mexican coins. The best I've ever found in circulation down there were two $20 peso coins without the silver. They're in BU condition and I'd never sell them for any reason - they've stayed with me since the beginning of my hardcore collecting. I'm digging the Belgian coin, also, with the lion on it. Looks very majestic. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 3:01 pm Quote: Also if anybody wants the name of the coin shop, I could give the name of it, really cool place! Thank you Hopefully you realize that giving the name of that place could start a stampede there. All the good deals would then be purchased by others. The next time you go there you would find an empty place all bought up due to you giving out their name. Quote: just carl: Bangor, Maine. Stephen King lives there, huge mansion. Thanks! Guess I'll have to put many of those things after anything I say. If I said where is Maine, I'm sure someone would have to say it's in the USA somewhere. Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 9:51 pm Thanks for the comments guys :) 52Raymo: No I didn't read that thread, could you post a link. I might go next time I visit NJ, thanks. matthewvincent: Well, my whole family collects coins, but I'm probably the biggest buyer so they encourage me. They even recommend that we go to shops and flea markets to find some coins to buy. just carl: haha, sorry I didn't know you were being sarcastic. And actually, there are 7 different places in the U.S. with the name ``Maine`` lol. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 01:56 am Oh Apollo! Neither my dad nor my great aunt ever "bought" a coin. They collected from circulation. Not me, but I could not talk my dad into buying the last coins that he needed. A family that collects coins together remains together throughout the years. Combine that with a family vacation and I say, " The best of all possible worlds. " Where in Canada do you hail from, eh? Maple leaves and Labatts - and SO MANY coins with beautiful animals - what's not to like about Canada? Report this Post to the Staff
