Best wishes.

Lars I do not know what you call partial retirement I applied for retirement on the first day allowable which is 1st july 2007 If you are selling the coins for additional capital wait with the common silver and gold coins till ( probably )2009 if you can American disclaimer ; this should not be construed as investment advice but a personal opinion  |

Lars, I hope you won't be gone too long. Hopefully, something will happen that sparks that interest again. You will be missed. We'll be here waiting for you if you change your mind.  |

Sorry to hear that mate, I'm sure you have given it a great thought but I still, would suggest that you think that one more time. But of course it is your decision and all I can do is respect that. I didn't know it would affect you so much that the German team got out of the cup  |

The National Hurricane center in Miami has rooms and rooms full of magnetic tapes of data but no one with the time to research what's on them and learn whatever there is to be learned from them. This is the same problem that coin collectors face today and IMO, it will be more and more of a problem. Computers and the Internet give us too much capacity to aquire more and more faster and faster. And at the same time, that capacity creates more and more need for the time to "process" it all, to research our stuff, to catalog it and to simply enjoy what we have. It starts to become a sterile matter of plugging holes and checking off lists since that's all there is time for. Computers and the Internet are the classic example of a strengh riding on back of a weakness--There is still only 24 hours in a day, technology can't change that. Good luck KLD and remember we'll still be here when it's time to home again. |

Lars, Forgive me if I mis-interpret what you say-The tone of remarks indicate discouragement; There isn't anyone who is immune to it. Allow me to share someyhing: Ten famous writers all had these temporary maladies- Ernest Hemingway, was one of them, John Steinbeck another-Taylor Caldwell, Thomas B Costain and others- I think it was Hemingway who said, sometimes, he would sit for a half day without so much as writing a paragraph. Same with John Steinbeck- They were grappling for the right words- but the doldrums intereferred. Here is hoping the very best for you that your temporary discouragement will fade away. In my own 52 years of this hobby-it has been the historical, the athestic, and the challenge that kept me at it- I'm betting you will find a new spark once again. Dewey

Hi All,
I thought I would add some words.
Dewey: I do not mean any harm in the words I said nor do I promote discouragement or anything negative to the hobby. I love the hobby I am just a bit discouraged myself and need an extended break to re-asses.
Renal: I did think about it several times over several days and came up with the same answer.
Steve: Close enough on the translation, I'm touched you found a translater.
Ageka: Not seeking capital return, just cleaning out the folder. Not much of great value.
To everyone else thankyou for the kind words.

I think he is taking his break from coins now if he sold the rest of what was in the Sell section. I hope he comes back. I really enjoyed his participation here. Hopefully, the coin collecting bug will show up again for him. |

Maybe we can all get to gether, and maybe all send him something to spark his interest back up again, I know .. when I get alittle tired of coins (only short breaks)something usually regains my interest

I recently won an auction for one of Lars' coins on this forum. It was my first auction on this forum and will be my first Morgan in my collection. It is on its way to me now. I just wanted to say how kind and helpful Lars has been. I'm a relative newcomer to this site but Lars will truly be missed as he has been a tremedous asset to the CC family.
