2006 Silver Proof Sets Arrived
Anita, your right I got 3 sets last Friday and two of Jefferson's Lips faint
but I did get one FLL. Take a look at his eyes, they look weird to me. Mike wrote in message oups.com... Bland Allison wrote: ... I got my subscription set today. The system works! I received mine a couple of days ago. The Jefferson nickels are interesting. I ordered 10 sets. The area around Jefferson's mouth doesn't look very well struck. Some of the nickels are more poorly struck than others. Maybe on down the road we will grade the better-struck nickels as FLL -- full lip line. This is the first year my subscription worked. Hell must be getting a bit icy Anita |

2006 Silver Proof Sets Arrived
"Richard L. Hall" wrote in message ... Mine arrived on Wednesday too. I also ordered them on the first day. My set arrived, too, about a week after ordering it. I got to thinking after I inspected it and stored it away-- this might actually be the last time I ever see it. So I guess this would make me more of an investor or speculator, eh? I do consider myself more a collector, but with these mint packaged sets, there's not much cause to ever open the box and look again once you've made the initial ogle/error/defect check. Unless you plan to sell, and I never expect to. Any other collectors feel "guilty" about this? Bruce |

2006 Silver Proof Sets Arrived
Sets received in today's mail which is interesting considering The MInt's
site said they were shipped yesterday by "Parcel Post" - now how they get Parcel Post from Memphis (home of Elvis and the Ancient Greeks).. to So. Calif. in one day I'll never know. Beautiful sets. No fingerprints or boogers or dead bugs or anything else inside the plastic holders, and it only took a couple of blasting caps and a few minutes with a jackhammer to get the weirdly shaped, slim, airbag-free shipping box open. Now someone tell me, are those people in the covered wagon on the Nebraska State quarter supposed to have extra corn husk leaves coming out of their ears? Harv |

Many collectors even forget what they have in the collection. Anita I guess I would qualify as a "used to be" collector. My dad died in January of this year and in his will I got his coins. The interesting thing is that all his coins, with just a few exceptions, were coins that I had given him over the years. Buffalo dollars, proof sets, gold soverigns and stuff like that. It meant something to me but I found that he just stuck it in a box and probably never looked at it again after I gave it to him. Since it meant nothing to him, it has made me relook at how and why I collect stuff. It's kind of like having an OCD disorder or something like that, the drive to accumulate and collect. I looked at all that I had collected, be it coins, stamps, baseball cards, comics, trains, guns, etc, etc, etc and realized that the drive was in getting the item, either because it caught my eye or was something I was after at the time. Now I realize that it really didn't matter why, I have a ton of stuff and it really doesn't mean anything to me. So, I made the decision to stop collecting, rid myself of a ton of stuff and maybe someone else who becomes a collector will enjoy it now that I know there is no longer any joy in any of it for me. You'll probably see me still bid on this and that, sometimes it's a compulsion I can't over come and when I win, whatever it is will ldisappear on my desk for a while and then come back out, I'll wonder why I have it and away it will go. I believe my biggest mistake in all this was spending so much time accumulating material things instead of spending time with the ones I love and now realize that every minute I missed spending with them in pursuit of someting else is a minute I'll never get to spend with them again. The family gets smaller as the years go by. Cliff |
