Set Description
I really do enjoy coin collecting. I have terrible arthritis, so it's hard to do many things in life, but coin collecting isn't one of them. Pain is an awful thing, but the joy that comes from coins (especially certain ones) lifts my spirits and then life is better.
I used to have a nice collection that I had had for forty years, but an old friend (past tense) took them from me. So I started again in 2006 and have been having lots of fun aquiring new pieces.

Set Goals
These beauties were the first gold coins that the mint started releasing after Ronald Reagan abolished the prohibition on gold circulation.
I have LOTS of other coins, but none that produce a deliberate sequence like these.
