Yep, I bought them. Couldn't pass up 75 bucks for these. Especially for what the last ones went for. Even if I don't use them, I could sell them later and maybe make a few bucks.

I'm an ex coin collector, as of about a month ago. I recently sold everything I had. Just this past summer/fall I completed my last sets, Lincoln cents and Washington quarters. I decided it was time to move them and go on to better things. Like a lot of things, once completed, the fun is gone from collecting anyway.

It's an expensive hobby for sure. But, I made some good money on the coins I had. The coin collecting market is hot right now, especially higher grade, uncirculated silver Washington quarters. I cleared just under $5,000.00 profit on everything. Not a bad deal. One coin, a 1932-D Washington, I bought back last year. Sold it in December for $1500.00. Not bad considering I paid $409.00 for it.

Oh, and thanks for the link Mitch.
