hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 10/29/2019 5:39 pm I spend a lot of money on lunch and coffee. I really do. I decided to start taking my lunch and a thermos of coffee. When I calculated it, I spend around $60 a week. Making lunch at home and coffee at home I spend under $30 a week, so I started pocketing the difference (about $25 a week). I go to the LCS about once every 2 weeks and I started picking up MHD. I wanted to do a lower cost circulated set and the LCS has most MHD for under $5. It took about 3 months and I'm still missing the key date of 1916-D but I was able to get all in mostly circulated collection, a few where BU and since I don't collect error coins the 1942/1 were 1942 and 1942d in MS 62. All in all not a bad set for not getting lunch at work. I even picked up a Whitman album so Carl can be proud of me My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Edited by hfjacinto 10/29/2019 6:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
