1876 CC Seated Dime - My Recent Numismatic Add
Time to add some numismatics
I added this a few weeks ago when I did a quick hit on a LCS. I loaded up with silver and decided to take a peak at what was in the cases.... typcially a bad idea at this LCS. The guy is loaded to the hilt with Seated, Bust, and other typically hard to find stuff. He is priced fair, but definatlly not a discount broker.
I happened to see this sweet thing hanging out, and knew I had to have it. I don't grade coins that I collected outside of Wheats... Some coins just speak to me, they have the eye appeal and look I want. At that point its only a question of if I have enough fiat to walk away with it.
Here it is!!

Thoughts
I have been neglecting my numismatic collection for about 2 years while I focus on stacking. I think I will switch back to numismatics when silver and gold start to climb, it seems to have an inverse relationship with numismatic prices. Interestingly, it seems numismatics have been struggling for a long time, I don't know what the long term prospects are, but I don't collect to make money, just as a hobby so I guess I shouldn't care.
Do you collect numismatics? Do you like the seated stuff?
