A big "Thank you! " to all the collectors from this forum!

1984worldcoins

Monday will be one year since I have joined this forum and I have learned a lot. I want to thank to all the nice people who helped me, especially to @7Jaguars, @SYRACUSIAN and @pruebas for the great advice and information they provided. I was an absolute beginner: @7Jaguars told me that Norton is , in fact , no king at all! Here are a few of the coins I got last year:

Agreed! A good bunch of people here.

Nice 1984 collection.

7Jaguars

Absolutely a pleasure. I will say that your enthusiasm is quite wonderful and inspirational to us all as well. Go 1984!!

I've enjoyed hearing about your numismatic journey throughout the year and looking forward to seeing the collection progress.

I have to ask why 1984?

Don't you have a wild guess? I mean, what would be the most common answer (and I bet that's it)?

@1984worldcoins that Mexico "Holey Dollar" medal is pretty scarce (and popular). I had a gold one which I think was unique that I sold a few years ago. Here is the link.

Birth year would be #1 but was wondering if it was anything else.

Orwellian?
LOL

Itt was obviously to commemorate the first year Apple Macintosh went on sale.

That was an option I had in mind but figured probably a year of birth hence my question.

Or maybe the 188th anniversary of the McIntosh Apple ...

Haha, not my birth year, I am a boomer from 1968. But in 1984 I was 16 , so the life was nice and bright, at least that is the way I want to remember it, so I picked that year to collect, since it reminds me of a fun and happy and interesting part of my life (also the pop culture was so fun those days). It has nothing to do with Orwell, I have read that book only recently and it is brutal but so true. I did not know anything about Apple those days, living behind "The Iron Curtain" (Romania) and I only survived spiritually by embracing the western pop culture. USA did a great service to Eastern Europe by financing a radio station in Germany, Radio Free Europe; it was keeping our hope up for a better and more free life in the future. Now we are in EU, Nato , in a developing democracy, what can be better?

Yes, I love that one, still on the way from US and I was aware that there is a gold version that sold some time ago and is very rare. Any info on the silver one, like mintage, who made the design or anything else ? I wish I knew about the sell of the gold one too, although those prices are a bit out of my league and in 2018 I was just starting to collect.

I got the mintage:
