In 2022 I unfortunately was forced to sell off nearly my entire personal collection to pay off some unexpected and quite high debt. I'm not gonna lie, that really took pretty much any interest in the hobby out of me and really crushed my spirits. I kept up a little, but not much and largely retreated from it for other ventures once free money once again became available.
But, my lovely girlfriend has been nurturing that interest back, asking me about it, prompting me to maybe go check out a show or two, see what's been going on. Over the more recent months she's asked me about my old type set that I had to sell off and if I had any interest in restarting it and "Yes" was the only answer I had. I was able to keep just a few of the coins from my type set, I really couldn't bear to part with the Draped Busts, Morgan, and Matron Head Cent.
So, with her blessing and encouragement, with my renewed interest and good spirits. I'm happy to once again say "Hello!".
It's good to be back, I missed you guys.

I'm sad to say, you predate me here.
But, WOW, am I envious of you to have such a great partner!

Hey guys long time no speak! I remember that Seated quarter HFJ, it's a darn nice one and pretty eye clean for the grade too as I recall. I happen to agree Victor, she's pretty amazing  |

In the range from 2015-2016 I sold a boatload of stuff due to an unexpected job loss. Mostly just silver, but some numismatic stuff, too. Stuff I regret having to sell. On the other hand, glad that the resource was there to get me through tough times.
Glad we've recovered.

Welcome back!
Life is hard, and cliches don't make it any easier. A lot of us have been through a lot in life. You are among friends here. Let's keep on this journey together. You have a wealth of numismatic knowledge. I look forward to hearing your insights again and learning more together with you. It's good to see your post and to have you back.
