except you have a proof 3 cent silver Oops my typo. Thanks, I corrected it.  Quote:
Have you ever thought of sending all your coins in to have a pedigree added to the label? I have thought about it a lot. So much I have created a pedigree for each of my coins containing when, where, why, cost, and other circumstances so that if I sell or when I give my collection 100% to my now 11 year old son (yes I tell him it's his) he and anyone else will know how they came about in the collection. Hopefully the next person would add to it and so on and so on, if I do pass along a coin. I always have said we aren't coin collectors we are coin custodians, saving them for other generations to enjoy.  Edited by Nelrak

I don't know about guns but usually when someone collects coins they also collect other things as well because it takes a certain trait to collect any thing like this. My wife used to call it OCD and I am not to sure she wasn't correct because no matter what I collected it pretty much consumed me, from cars to guns to coins, I could never get enough

ShadowCreator: When I was little I used to collect....cacti. Yes, you heard that right. That's Great! I recently opened my CA&GS (Cacti Authentication & Grading Service) business to the public. You can mail me your prized cacti and we will Authenticate, Grade, and encase your cacti in a sturdy, tamper-proof pot. Our Economy Tier: $75 per cacti (up to 35in in height) plus $45.00 per plant in return shipping. Sorry too much time on my hands today. |

And pokemon cards, of course I used to collect rocks, Trading cards, and I have a collection of CD-Roms, Video Games, and other stuff. I might sell the cards though. I still have the rocks though, I loaded my pockets with rocks on my way back from Australia when we went to a mine on a P2P Trip. But Coins seem to be the most interesting to me, especially the Barber Series (Quarters and Halves), and Silver Trimes. |

It's quietly resting in a Safe Deposit Box at bank for the time being, which is cheaper than a Laser Defense System and Lead Lined Vault!
