Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow (All The Way To The Bank)

Unfortunately, due to economic hard times (at least I am better off than many), people have to part with collections just to survive.

Fortunately, I have a sizable coin collection and I am a little pinched financially despite 2 jobs and The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan to help.

I was able to get a good price today for an uncirculated Carson City 1884 Morgan Dollar that my dad bought in 1972-73 for $15.00. I had several Morgan dollar sets that I sold over the years via eBay and to collectors. Prior to today, the last one I sold was for some extra cash for my 2007 Japan trip.

Here's the coin I sold today:



Here's a similar one (same packaging).
