Mopar, you must think I'm the kind of guy that needs a new car every 2
or 3 years. No, in fact I keep a car as long as it will run.
:) Seriously, I guess it makes a lot of sense to upgrade my RedBook.
I started collecting in the 70s and 80's before I graduated high
school - back when gold was skyrocketing and coins seemed to be a
really good investment! But I waited and waited and the market fell
out. That and the fact I took off to college, military, marriage, and
fatherhood, kept me away from coins for awhile...
But now I'm having some fun buying and selling a little bit. What I
really want to do though is make enough cash to go buy a good metal
detector and go out and FIND some old coins. I like the thrill of
discovery! (Trying to get that thrill from a good deal on eBay but
it's elusive right now)
