How to go insane without going crazy.

I have been apparently inactive for a long time, but that was only on line and with making changes in my registry.

Since August of last year, as some of you know, I have been boiling away a lot of the slag in my collection. I was having trouble deciding which direction to go, and sets were totally driving me crazy so I worked hard to find and put together four sets of Indians, the 15 coin set. Two were MS61 and two were MS62. Well, after all the shenanigans of getting them together, already three sets have been traded away, leaving only one set of MS62. Those are the ones with the two sections, 1908 - 1929.

Well, anyway, lots of things happened. This week,Thursday, I sent off three boxes of coins. 31 of my Foreign coins, and three from battleship row. I call my heavy hitters battle ships. Earlier in the week I sent off 22 pounds of scrap silver and gold, ungraded stuff I pick up along the way at everwhere from personal collections, coin shows, and even pawn shops.

I got a huge credit from the fellow I buy from and an 1877 S MS61 $10. One of two none better. The coin is not yet in my registry, but should be next week.

I also added in, on a 2nd trade, three 1988 $50 AGE MS70. There are about 75 of those beauties. AND a set of the 2001 AGE MS70. I guess there are not too many sets made up. Also came in, some of the Millenium sets, and Roman Numeral coins.

Now some are not added in yet, and my registry number took a real beating yesterday as I took out more than I put in. After I get all my stuff back, I should see a resurgence in my registry standings.

Something that will keep it down, is that I traded out items which I have not yet decided on what to get, so I have a pretty nice credit at a place who is able to come up with some beauts.

So, stay in touch. I will be adding in pictures soon as FINALLY I have gotten the computer genius here to fix my photo fix.

I have a coin show Sunday in Palm Beach again, so let us see what transpires there.

I am looking at some of my sets of Impressions of Liberty, and wonder if they might be happier somewhere else. I have 11 comlete sets of that, even though I have to pick up a few of the silver eagles if I decide to sell the Pt and Au coins. All PF70.

See you back here Monday.

REMEMBER, HAVE FUN!

P.S. I traded away also my 1829 $2.5 AU55, my 1870 $2.5 MS61, and my 1915 $2.5Panama Pacific MS64, so a few goodies went bye bye.
