I've made the really tough decision to just be a collector, I'm by no means rich and really can't afford to relaese a coin to have it go missing, I know a lot of people disagree with this but for me thats just the way it is.

Nobody disagrees, or has the right to, about what you do with your coins.

 

Just don't release copies of them! LOL

<sound of can of worms opening>

Yeah I threw that idea around too but it came down to it, it seemed like people would rather you just not release the coins instead of releasing a copy, so thats sort of how I came to the decision. At least for right now maybe if things change I'll get some to release.

Hold yer horses, Slim !

 

Not everybody objects to releasing copies

There are some very vocal folks who have strong feelings on the issue, and (sadly) do not hesitate to express them . . . repeatedly

 

But I think that it is a nice compromise

Given the choice between nothing and a copy, I will take the copy every time

 

There are plenty of people who cannot afford to buy coins to release

I think that it is very thoughtful of them to share to the extent that they can

 

I am acquainted with at least a dozen people who feel likewise

 

There are two pieces of advice that I would offer -

1. Put "COPY RELEASED" in the title of any such coin

(this warns a potential seeker of what to expect)

2. Do not otherwise share the coin(s)

(doing so violates the GC.com policy of "single use" of a tracking number)

 

But, most of all, enjoy what you are doing

You won't ever be able to satisfy everybody, so go ahead and do what you find most pleasing

We remember our first coin find.we sent an e-mail to the owner thanking them for placing the coin(Gratefull Mike & Navibear)

 

To our delite,they said we could keep it!!!So,we did.for a couple of months.

 

Then we decided to release it,and have never regretted it.It still shows up once in a while.

 

We found it fun to follow around!

 

Just our 2 cents!LOL!

now you've done it! you've doomed yourself to a life of doing almost anything to earn the money to purchase more coins.

My very 1st coin find was a 2003 Oregon (non-numbered) only 200 made....I have to admit, I was hooked from that point on.
