I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I have been a lurker for some time now and picked up some great information from everyone. Hopefully I will be able to help someone in future!

    Welcome Dave,

    Your ability to shoot missiles might come in handy when things get a bit out of control on this baord, as members fire shots at each other from time to time.image

    Welcome to the boards, SilverEagleDave. How did you get started collecting?

    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 Dave! There are some really WEIRD people on this board. BEWARE. I'm about the most informed, stable person here, so if you have questions, I'll be happy to help! image
  • Thanks for the Welcome everyone.

    I got into collecting when my father was commissioned as an officer in 1994 and the Navy flew me home from my ship to give him his first salute. And when an enlisted person gives an officer their first salute, the tradition is for the officer to give them a brand new silver eagle. That is what got me into collecting. I know eagles aren't a favorite on these forums, but they have a different meaning to me.

    Again, thanks for the welcomes!

  • Hey Dave Welcome to the boards.

    Welcome!
  • I found out something cool, I'm going to be heading over seas on a cruise in March. I will be spending a lot of time in Europe, so I will be able to pick up some of their new "funny money" My daughter wants to start collectiong euro's for some reason, but hey...anything to get her to join me in the hobby! She's only 9 and wants to save money...sometimes I wonder if she is really mine!

    Welcome also. What else are you interested in besides the American Silver Eagles?

    By the way, I think the ASE are pretty neat myself, and have all the years in uncirculated except for 1993 and 1995. Plus, I am starting to work on the ASE Proofs also.
  • Right now I am sticking with the ASE Proofs graded. I'm getting ready to buy the dreaded 95W next month. Sigh image
  • Welcome to another SAE fan!!! I currently have 3 complete BU sets, 75% of all the proofs, and 1/2 way through a roll of each year (BU's). Don't think I'll EVER get the '95W thoughimage If you would like some tips on lowest prices on dealers on the net, feel free to pm me!

    << <i>Lucy, wasn't that "oh my little soldier boy?" >>

    I have atleast 5 diferent version of this song by various vocal groups from the 1950s, My Sailor Boy is the correct title on the Connie Francis song, as Lucy was listening to it when I made that post! A very nice ballad..

  • David-
    Welcome to the Forum. I look forward to your comments and insight in the future.

    Be careful. That Hep Kitty doesn't offer to play songs for just any new Member. Must be the uniform.

    If you are called to action in the Middle East, we all wish you would fire one of those missles right up Sadam's............backside orafice.

    I stand corrected, I was thinking of the Shirelle's recording, what a group they were. My momma always warned me never to question a woman or argue with one. image
