Something I hope to achieve .. Keeping This Great Leisure Activity alive and well! Getting good information to novice collectors about those individuals who are only in it for high profit. This Hobby is for enjoyment! There are those that will tell you what a great Investments and coin bargains they have but it is not always true.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Remember, Only the Collector is the one who must be happy with the coin they get for the price they pay, not the seller! .
