to get it meant that it became a valuable part of your collection. As life went on so buying coins became easier, as it should. But I bet you still remember those early purchases more fondly than your most recent ones…
So if money is a little tight at the moment, if you’re finding that the petrol bill and food bill are conspiring against you and that you don’t have the money to spend on your beloved hobby that you once did—don’t give up, don’t throw in the towel or sell up in despair—far better to take yourself back to your schoolboy days and start picking and choosing the coins your REALLY want and, when you’ve found them save up for them, maybe ask the dealer to put them aside on “layaway” (where you pay him a deposit then a set amount over a set period of time agreed by you both until they are yours) or sell off some of your “lesser” coins to pay for them. That’s how it always used to be—and we enjoyed our hobby then possibly more than many of us do now. When money is plentiful we can buy what we want, we become accumulators. When things are a bit stretched we become collectors again—and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
