  • Welcome and enjoy.. This group has a depth of information like no other. Myself excluded
  • To answer your questions:

    I've been collecting almost 12 years. My favorite piece is either my 5 Pd Victoria Gold, or the MS-65 Saint I made about a year ago, both are incredible.

    Is the Victoria 5 Pound an old head? a jubillee head? or is it Una and the lion? image The 5 Pound is my favorite, but alas I only have Elizabeth II's. image

    Welcome, Catherine! Guess you'll have to split your time between this forum and the World Coins forum. How did you get here, anyway?

    [When I see Russ ask someone "Got JFKs?" I imagine him sitting back and saying to himself, "You don't, do you? Know why? Because I HAVE THEM ALL!"] image

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Welcome, Catherine ... always nice to greet another newbie and particularly a woman since most of the posters around here are men. (Pardon the mess ...) Your choice of an icon is interesting, as well. Beth, one of the few of the female persuasion posters, has the same icon ...

    Hello Catherine,

    A woman who collects anything that's made of GOLD. Go figure.

    Just kidding. It is always nice to have another lady on the forums. Hope that you enjoy your stay here.

    Hi Catherine. Great name - we named our daughter almost the same (Kathryn). I too have been very fond of gold lately and am embarking on a US Gold type set. No better way to run out of money!

    Welcome, Catherine. It's a riot here, if you didn't already know that. And, I'm surprised nobody has chastised you (yet) for advertising your predilection for Darkside material.

    Russ, I didn't know JFKs came in gold?!
