pics will come up but I want to answer Carl's question about free coins. I'm a kid, they want to have new collectors around so they keep me going with some coins (but the Liberty nickel was from the same dealer that sold me the Barber quarter and half so I think that was a bonus) |

Well done Adam. I'm glad you like your new coins. In response to the rest of the feedback, I'm a little shocked at some of the replies that were given. Speaking merely as a member and not a fellow moderator, I'm surprised that Metalmans reply was taken as some kind of "Why did you buy those" comment. All he was trying to do was determine how Adam was going about his collection. Knowing he is a new collector, he tried to inform him that through the years, some of us start to change our ways and we start collecting higher grade examples one at a time instead of many at lesser grades. If Adam wants to fill holes and upgrade later, good for him. We have all done that at one time or another. Metalman was merely providing guidance to one way to collect coins.  Regardless, Adam, any questions or advice needed, please feel free to ask. I think you are doing a great job at picking up coins. I love the V nickel. Probably my favorite coin.  |

Adam - nice job young man! Congrats on another fantastic day at the coin show. I think you picked up a couple of great deals (especially the freebies!!).
Time to start saving again - there is another show not too far off I'm sure!

Adam, you should be proud of yourself. Those are nice looking, original coins! When I was your age, I was barely starting out as well and had no where near the acquisitions that you have come by. Again, congrats :-), those are some nice looking coins! Great pics too. Looks like your 1905-S Barber half dollar spent some time in a blue Whitman album. Those stripes on the reverse are a tell tale sign. swcoin.ecrater.com
