As a child my grandfather got me into collecting coins. As I grew older I became a high standard collector. I didn’t collect everything just the 4 coins that I loved the most. Which were the Morgan dollar, the Peace dollar, the Walking Liberty half dollar and the Mercury (Winged Liberty) dime. I had the complete run of each coin minus 2 or 3. I constantly flipped coins to obtain nicer higher grades of the coins that I owned. Unfortunately I had to sell my entire collection in my early 20’s because of a bad business venture with a partner. It took me many years to get out of debt from that. Then marriage, child, house put it on hold further. I got back into
Collecting about 15 years ago again. Since the prices of the coins that I had previously owned had appreciated so much, there was no way for me to reacquire them. So I turned to collecting only graded Morgan’s and stacking silver. While my heart is more into collecting beautiful coins, my wallet cannot afford that so I stack when I can.

That's quite interesting that you had such a solid plan to flip them and upgrade the ones you had. Really interesting to read, thanks!

Sorry about the bad business venture, I know how it is to get into debt and even become homeless, then having to built a life again. If it wasn't for that experience, I would have probably had a nice savings amount already. Such is life though, we can only live and learn..

I really appreciate the story, thank you!
