Stalemate

I wonder why I haven't been working very hard on my coin collection lately until I had a dream that explained everything.

First, the dream wasn't really a numismatic dream specifically; rather it contained some veiled references to my current coins and showed some other coins in use. Basically, the dream involved a thief who attempted to steal my entire collection by taking my car keys from my truck. Once he had the keys, he tried selling the truck but would only take Walking Liberty Half dollars and Winged Liberty Dimes in payment.

That got me thinking - after I woke up. I should spend some time looking at completing or upgrading those two collections.

Then I got hit with sticker shock!  OK. Maybe I don't need to work on those collections.

Maybe I should be very careful about which coins I'll be buying this year.
