2011

New Baby (13 months)
New House (owned 8 months)
Self Labor House Renovations (7 months)

My coin jar is filled to the max with all my pocket change, new acquisitions (still wrapped in their shipping wrappers), and sweet finds wrapped in random paper wrappers. I also have rolls and rolls of coins acquired a few at a time over the last year, priority boxes unopened, and mint shipping boxes that hold unknown items. My new coin closet is a mess! Moved three times this year as I was renovating the house has just been neglected for way too long. I can't get my trading going again because I don't know where anything is. I can't continue my sale of extras because I don't even know what I have acquired this year! I don't even know what I am collecting right now! MAN! I need a week to just clean out my coin jar (probably $1000 loose) and with 2012 right around the corner I'm about to get really behind!

I need a numismatic vacation. Coffee, sweats, quite, and coins coins coins...one can wish I guess.

Since I live at the beach perhaps I could make a trade! Beach vacation for cataloging services

Yep a closet. Mostly filled with my circulating coinage sorting system. One day I will post pictures of how I normally go through my pocket change/roll searches. Usually it is very organized but when it gets behind watch out! It can pile up fast! BTW the closet is really small and also holds most of my cloths.

Tighten your belt! Remove those clothes! You no need no stinking clothes. Just a belt... really really tight. Do it right...get a money belt. What's the clothes policy on that beach? "Tight belts only" I bet so spend the day on your beach with the basic core of your CCSS.

... living on the beach and crying about a vaca? Whimp

I'm on back pain meds translation: Enjoy!

PS told my wife about the beach vacation for cataloging services. She's packing

I ponder if any TPG would ever offer "sorting and grading by the hour" services. Might be what you need...

Ooo I think I have a new business idea.

Nah... :-)

Let us know what you find during the downtime.

Whenever that happens with all that appears to be going on with life at the moment.
