just saw that myself - on ebay. Kind of sad that a real collector didn't get it first and enjoy it for what they are, for a while before flipping for the almighty dollar.

not very nice to call me not a real collector. I already have every coin in that set, so I purchased it to pass along to the next collector to enjoy..

I never posted originally to advertise them for sale. Some other poster took care of that. I posted so others could enjoy looking at them, and the unusual case they came in. I had never seen the leather case before and I figured others would enjoy seeing it.

The posting wasn't so someone else could try to undermine and demean my original reason for my posting.

In my opinion @silverwolf is correct. There is nothing wrong with buying and selling for a profit.

I do not see why you cannot mix commerce and be a collector too. Most dealers I know also collect, although usually they collect more obscure items in order to avoid competing with their customers.

I would not hesitate to buy something that seemed undervalued and resell it in order to finance my hobby, not that it happens very often. A lot of CCF members do that. Some of us do it for a living. Most of us are happy to get a bargain because we see something that others have missed.

thanks oriole, like I said I wasn't trying to promote this , just trying to show fellow collector's out there what is available , and the one off's.. And yes I do sell to finance my other coin purchases.. I just didn't like being called not a true collector..That hurt..
