I keep telling myself to buy less, more better quality coins. But I have a weakness when I can buy coins at a low price. I do have a plan, but I don't always remember what the plan is. Are there any others here that have this same problem.   |

Uh...nope. Never needed to have my purchases double bagged. LOL
But, yeah, I over-buy sometimes, and it's always stuff that's NOT on the list.

I did find it funny .. when they were putting the coins in the bag .. they said .. better double bag them.
Getting sets like these are a lot of work. Not just cutting the mint sets up .. I try to pick out the better grade coins .. and with the Ike's I will get into my Ike box
and cull out some lower grade coins.
I do have all these coins many times over ... I just can't
stop myself from getting more.

Keep on going; every set you crack makes the rest more valuable.  |

I see you have added another Prestige set.  You cannot crack that one, but the others are fair game.  |

I love that second picture. That's the sort of thing that excites me. I still remember the feeling I had last October when I bought my first real hoard. Nothing like it. I agree with jbuck. Don't crack that prestige set.

I have cracked Prestige sets in the past. I am starting to hold on to some sets. They are cool .. but not really sure why I have them .. they take up a lot of space. Quote:

The last auction I was bidding in.. there was 3600 large pennies... unfortunately I was slightly outbid... but I figured they would've had to double bag that lot.. I didn't even need any of the dates... just wanted to practice making love tokens... so.. I understand ya! To the Nth degree

Funny thing for me, what I am buying has a lot to do with what coins and currency are coming into the LCS's in my area. I might be buying modern one week and ancients the next. |

Going at this rate you're going to need to be thinking about an addition to your home!  Is that a Franklin Proof Set on the bottom right of the 2nd picture. I have a bit of an issue with hoarding those too when I see then for a reasonable price. Edited by Joe2007
