Remember folks, the point of "Coinaholics" is to encourage MORE coin buying...NOT LESS !......
It's only a "problem" when we don't have enough coins or can't make a purchase. THAT'S the type of treatment offered here !....Other members WILL offer you "fixes" on many different coins if your outside avenues have been temporarily roadblocked !

AHHHHHH, An EXTRAORDINARY day for me! Not only did I get my 1916 D Mercury dime back form PCGS, I got FIVE BEAUTIMOUS Walking Liberty half dollars from Jason in the same day! THANKS Jason! And if THAT ain't enough, when I was checking out at the store, the cashier was out of 5s and 10s, so I got a bunch of ones. When I checked THEM when I got home (I check nowadays for star notes), I found FIVE consecutively serialized crisp 2006 year one dollar bills! Yup, John's a VERY happy camper today!  |

I definitely need to come. Lately I've been trying to utterly grab every good deal that I see. Recently I offered 270.00 on a Barber dime that I thought was 1895O, was really 1896O. No excuse though, I was tired and being stupid, will never bid when tired and stupid again. The seller had a return policy though and recognized my mistake because he probably figured I'd find out tomorrow and retract it or just return the thing. |

OK, I'm going crazy now. I missed last month's coin show for the Indy 500 and now I have to wait until June 29th. I keep resisting stopping by my fav coin shop. I put a few ebay bids in, but got beat out by over-payers. I'm going on two months now without a coin purchase. One good thing has come of this, I've now saved-up a giant pot of $$$ to spend at the next show. I'm going into the next show loaded for bear and I'm planning a 4-5 hour stay. I should come back with a bomb load of coins. |
