I think its been a very long time since ive seen someone with the zest and love of coinage equaled to what michael exibits. His love for cameo coinage down to the simpilist list of pops (not exactly accurate) Now I hear he has a junior collector club. Truly incredible..hes going alot farther than we hoped jd would.
Im very happy to read his posts, they go so much farther than just the normal "oh look how cute"
its a pleasure to have him around.

I get the feeling while reading his enthusiastic posts that he has just won the lottery or something! Besides being full of enthusiasm, his posts are also informative. I always read his descriptions and look at his pictures.
what's this about a Jr. Collector club???
Well Michael lay it on us

Oh, there has been times I don't agree with Michael but we agree to disagree and then move on back to coins. And if he is helping kids with collecting coins that's a great thing for the hobby. I tip my hat to you Michael, if I had one LOL yes yes.

Michael has offered copious advice regarding my forays into coins. He suggested that I stay away from future coin purchases because of
my compulsivity and poor choices, like the near-fatal error regarding the "CC" purchase. Note: Big Brother reads PCGS message boards!
He's a great guy and has saved me thousands of dollars. He never did respond to the Morgan that I traded for. He probably just got
tired of me ignoring him. But he has my utmost respect and I'm glad you all enjoy his posts as well.
Michael, if you read this, I hope you're OK. Drop a PM anytime.

Yes, Michael's a great collector!
Obscurum per obscurius
What a great asset he is to this forum!
Thanks, Michael!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
and barney that morgan i saqw of yours it is a great coin!!!!!!!!!! i think i posted pubically on it i said superb! if not i am sorry i missed you i guess i can see now that many including me forget!!!!!!!!!!!!
barnet that is a great coin you got the morgsan and much better than all the others you looked at those cc we talked about!!!
the junior coin club is a part of the rna the trochester numismatic association the longest continious coin club in the usa a part of the ana in was founded in 1912 and has met every month non interrupted since 1912
i am a member and also there is a club for kids under 16 called the junoir rna that meets at the eisenhart the local museum on east ave in rochester the
thirs friday of every month except july and august and it must be provential sionce it is today!
I AM LIKE AN ADVISOR And i gace a talk last month on coins toned coins! also the kids are great but it is good to like support them and niuture them now i realize that you cant
fix correct change convert anyone but yourself but i figure that6 maybe if i can get one kid to like coins and maybe grow with coins and maybe learn something and maybe do bertter in school and keep hiss or her mind busy that wopuld be good
also lets say one of ther kids grows up and becomes an advanced collector or dealwer i mean we need them to buy all our great coins
when we get old i mean to help the market we need new blood
i mean the regular club has mostly older white men average age like 70!
so hopefully the new kids can learn also and as an advisor there maybe i can develop an intereat and also we have fun we taLK COINS at the metting and also showe and tyell the kids tell waht they have been working on
also sometimes i give a talk on coins all the kids are great but some are really smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 so i give prises to some if they try to stump an advisor and i pass out some coins to them
and it helps the hobbhy all around!! they meet once a month and it is tonight whazt provendence for bill to mention trhis !!!!
it is real fun for me as i love coins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and all i can say is a am very happy that i sww this i was surprised iy made me feel really good i knew that this forums pcgs was wprth sopmething but i didnot know HOW MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS PCGS AND ESPECIALLY ALL THE MEMBERS ON HERE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME MORE THAN I GAVE YOU!

Barney

matt
if your living like there's no god, you'd better be right!!
PS. My father-in-law just got type two, and my son has had type one since he was four. Stay strong.
I hope you get better!!!. My elderly mother has diabetes and its a terrible disease. I hope they
find a cure. I will pray for you. Keep up the good work for the hobby and we are here to support you.
Brian.
I appreciate the photos he's posted of the coins from the eastern collection and the stories behind them. Keep up the good work, Michael!
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.
barney and hammy you both a great!!!!!!! and barney just ask me about any coins you want to buy and you know many on here also! always ask on here before you buy and get all the opinions and at least you can have other information to make a better decsison even if the advise is good bad or ugly !! who cares! it helps you to make a better informed decsison in the end and it is up to you!!
thanks mark feld! waht can i say you are an unusual dealer in that we are friends!

thanks all and this turned out to be a better board then in my wildest dreams when i began on here
i wish many had stayed on here since the beginning also
sincerely and with deep respect michael
Thanks for all the great information and your PMs. You are a true wealth of information.
When michael and I did all our late night pm's back and forth I used to yell at him to break up all his paragraphs!!! He finally learned how to use a line break between paragraphs. No one bothered to read all his wonderful postings before because they were so hard to read!!!!!
Now for the real scoop on michael, he is a collectors's collector just like tradedollarnut, joshua and conder101 and countless others right here. While there are countless others that are deserving of mentioning I wanted to point out those three for their unique contribution to the hobby in their repsective ways.
This hobby is richer for all of the contributions by michael and these others.
But when I look at the number of pm's I have had, it is clear that michael is my favorite. I have had 477 pm's with him followed by MartyF 113 and tradeedollarnut 85. This tells it all. Someday I am going to meet this fellow!

sincerely michael
You see there is a lot of appreciation among your board mates for your knowledge and enthusiasm of and for this crazy infatuation of stamped metal.
Despite the arguements and trivial debates there is a core love for numismatics here that you have helped foster.
I am really pleased to read of your efforts to bring young collectors into the fold.
Keep up the great contributions and wishing you a good outcome on the diabetic eye problem.
If there's one person on these forums I'd like to meet in person, it's Michael. If he would just give me his address, I'll be on the next AMTRAK train to Rochester.

It was like having an angel popping up on your shoulder telling you the truth.
Thanks, Michael. I hope that your detatchment cleared up quickly.
