dcarver9183 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 5:35 pm the hobby is what you decide to make it...if you like to make things unreachable and focus on what you can't afford then from my view it wouldn't be as fun. I chose a series that's attainable and yet still has a few coins that aren't super expensive, but I can't just go run out and buy them either...the wife would kill me. I'm watching my coins grow right now..hopefully I can complete the set within the next few months...that is until the next version hits the usmint...expensive is what you make it...btw...I'm in sales for a rather large company.

I have said this before and I will say it again: I am sooooo happy I bought my 32D and 32S in 1997 before the Statehood Quarter induced popularity and silver prices caused them to go up! I really love my Washington album being full! Even though I am tempted to start other sets so I can buy some "cheaper" coins, I have resolved to finish what I have started. I currently have five sets (six including the 7070) that are down to the key dates. Yes, they are pricey; but I will take my time. I could easily start three or four more sets, but then I would have even more holes! Save a little money here and there for the expensive stuff. Patience and discipline can go a long way in this hobby!

m9frank Pillar of the Community United States 628 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 7:32 pm I think patience is very important to the enjoyment of the hobby. Enjoy the coins you have, stash a bit of cash aside regularly ( apart from retirement, etc ), select a coin target and begin searching. The planning can be as enjoyable as the acquisition. Above all else, have fun Report this Post to the Staff
