I really don't even have enough money to get a substantial amount of rolls to search 
I'm getting by on reading, and forums.
hmmm...I just got an idea. I think I'll sit down on the floor in front of my safe and examine/enjoy all the coins I already have.
Not much posts lately. How is everyone?

I hear ya. I've actually been surprisingly solvent with my finances here lately and have made some modest purchaes. But it'll never last- I'll be broke again soon. Never fails. I actually tend go more into reading when I hit a dry spell. Not about coins because that just reminds me that I'm broke. Usually stuff about WWII or misc Historical non-fiction. The library is free and a couple of months will go by in a hurry when I get started reading. I sometimes think about trading or swapping coins- but then I can't ever find a coin in my collection that I'd be willing to part with. I'd thought about going through and organizing and taking pictures of all my coins at some point in time. Maybe I'll do that during the next dry spell insteaed of going to the library.
At any rate- Hang in there! Hopefully after we get this election year crap over with the economy will get better.

 Come on Adam cheer up, it can't be that bad. It's not like your dog is dead. He's not is he? I always look in my pocket, billforl, around the house, even in my wifes purse for coins when I can't get any others to look at. You never know what you might find.  Just stay out froum under that bed. We done lost one forum member that way. |

I'm not buying much either, probably my next purchases will be in a month at the next show I go to, but I may stick to cherrypicking varieties for cheap. Reading is never wasted, really it can be as rewarding as having the coins. |

Well, I am over a week behind on reading my coin publications. Plus my brother is in town with his really nice camera, so he's been helping me get some good shots of some coins. So that has been helping me get my coin fix too. If only we had a tripod, I'd be getting some super high quality pictures.

I'm rebuilding my list of world coins. Back in February, my usb drive fell out of my pocket and I apparently shoveled it into that massive snowpile in my front yard. 6 or 7 weeks later, I find it, but nothing is recoverable. Fortunately, the only things I didn't have backed up were my list of coins (and duplicates), and all of my coin-related bookmarks. A pain, yes, but the more sensitive info was backed up, so not a total loss. Needless to say, it's a massive job, and I have far more coins than I thought. Once I'm done all that, then we get back to the roll searching and world coin trading. |

Put all your coins in a big box and send them to me. I would be more than glade to make you a list and do away with any duplicates or any thing I think you do not need.hehehe |
