Hi, I am new to the site, but wish i had found you sooner. I have collected coins on and off for 27 years. My favorites are proof liberty head nickels, proof seated dimes. I wish I could collect the higher end grades, but I do enjoy what I do collect. I am now addicted to reading the posts at least twice a day, have learned so much in a short time, and have never laughed so hard at some of them. Keep up the good work. Mark

    abmluce - I'm very confused. You claim to be addicted but yet you also state that you read the posts at least twice a day - do you call that addicted? You can do way better than that!

    Welcome... but you only read the posts twice a day? That is HARDLY an addiction... I made these forums my homepage because I check them every time I'm online (normally ALL day long) You have a ways to go to be addicted...

    Welcome to the boards. Some of the stuff is funny and I find myself laughing out loud quite often. If some non-coin collector is in the room and I try to explain it I can't because it's coin humor.

    Welcome to the board! I'm on here all the time. It's caused me to spend a lot of money, too, buying all the cool shiny discs of metal I can afford!

    ....."and have never laughed so hard at some of them."

    Excellent! A new member who brings a sense of humor to the boards. We need all of you guys we can get. Welcome!

    Someone else on this thread mentioned "coin humor." I went to the library looking for a volume of that. I found a paper thin book called "Coin Chuckles" right between "Consider Depression" and Aldolfus' "Can You Survive the Plague?"

    Coin humor is in short supply. Me, I welcome it.

    << <i>have never laughed so hard at some of them. >>



    Welcome aboard. Sometimes we all LOL even when the poster is dead serious. This place is a great resource for what ails you.
    Buy the coin...but be sure to pay for it.

    Hey RLinn,
    How come your quote function obviously works and mine doesn't? Dang it, nothing works on this contraption. I can't even get the italics to kick in without it grabing my whole post. Yesterday, I finally made an arrowhead out of flint, and now they expect me to master a computer. It ain't fair.

    Beware these boards, abmluce. Addicted? I'm supposed to be working right now (and I like my work) but, I just can't seem to tear myself away.....

    Welcome!! I'm relativly new myself. This forum is a lot better than the ones that have half a dozen posts a day wanting to know how much their two headed quarter is worth.

    Welcome to the boards. Even if you've had over 27 years of collecting experience, I can assure you that you will learn a lot in this forum.

    Have fun!
