Life is to short to worry about the future.

Today my 2011 S 1C PF 70 RD Ultra Cameo arrived. Finally I got to complete my 2011 Silver Proof Set. As I check all of my other modern coin sets that need to be filled I come to the conclusion I am in for a long wait. I am a 60 year old cancer survivor who has gone through 3 bone marrow transplants.I started collecting in 2009 when a friend got me involved in it. That is the year I found out I had bone cancer. I love my coins but I do not know how long I will be around to finish what I started. I thought about it and decided to continue working on my sets for my two daughters. Life is so full of wonders. I showed a coin to my daughters and told them this coin is 142 years old. Just think of the history of it and what you will tell your grandchildren about it. Yes coin collecting is fun and so rewarding. I hope to continue till I am 100 years old. Besides it is and investment for them.

Happy Collecting
