I have only three holes in my 7070. Yes, that is correct, the three silver dollar holes.

A nice mid-grade set (with the exception of a few key/semi-key coins) is affordable.....one here, one there, and, stretched out over a period of time, you'll soon be at the point of no return.....Morgan addiction. |

Me too... Now, the real question is is did he buy them all at once or is slowly accumulating them at a rate of about once a day? Slowly, but surely. Can't really afford to buy one every day, and I've never bought in bulk.....can't afford that either. I just plod along in my old country boy way until I get to where I'm going. You'll notice most of my Morgans are mid-grade at best. That's because I don't view my coins as an investment.....I collect coins because I enjoy this fascinating hobby we all share. For me, its not about having the best, nor one-upmanship....its simply the pleasure of doing something I truly enjoy. Over a period of time those mid -grade coins will turn into a collection, and that collection will, eventually, turn into a set.....a completed set. What I do when I get down to the more expensive coins.....I have a little set-aside that's strictly for purchasing coins. I add to it whenever I can, and, eventually, I'm ready to go shopping for coins. Now, keep in mind, that's just my way.....might not work for everybody, but it seems to have worked out well for me. |

I don't know about slowly accumulating, it seems quick to me. Earlier I stated I had a few already on hand, and, after I had posted them, it would be one here, one there as they came in. I have two more to post, and then it will probably be after the first of the year before I post any others. |

Ralph is just pacing us. Too many at once could cause some of us to go into shock. That's just funny! |
