This has been a very exciting first week! I enjoy the fact that a young numismatist can begin with very little investment. With my limited throughput I might not score as big as you 10 box a week fellas, but this will certainly help pay tuition, and I'm sure my kids (if any) will appreciate the walkers/franklins/rarities that I toss in my gun safe.
