Howdie, y'all!
I'm a brand spankin' new poster and am here to introduce myself to the forum. I am new to the hobby, having discovered a Peace $1 from my grandfather that sparked my interest about a year ago. Since then, I've purchased a few books, including the 2002 & 2003 Red books and attended the Charlotte show.
I haven't specialized in any particular coin type yet - I enjoy them all, especially the ones I can't afford to buy. I'd like to put together a set of Peace $1s in MS-64. I also like tall ships, so one day I may try to put together as many coins with boats or ship images as I can find - including world coinage.
Having been involved in the hobby for only a year, I have mixed feelings about the hobby already. I can easily understand why some have left. Still, as long as I'm enjoying it and am staying within my bounds, then I'll stick around. I think if a person is a true numismatist - not in it just to make a buck - then it's a great way to spend your free time.

Great grade in which to build a set. I'm doing my Walker short set in MS64. If you're patient and careful, you can find beautiful coins at the grade without paying the big price jump that happens going up to MS65.
Welcome aboard!

Good Luck.

Glad to have you here!
Remember.....collecting is supposed to be joyful. A few of my suggestions:
1. Don't spend a dollar you can't afford to lose on coins.
2. Find some dealers/members you like and can trust and try to do business with them as often as possible.
3. Read as much as you can about the hobby and try to join a local club.
4. Share your love of the hobby with the younger generation.
Practice these four rules and the hobby will always bring you Joy. Try to make money and it will no longer be fun.

My Grandfather got me into as well but at a earlier age maybe. A great Peace set to work on.
If you make progress on this set the coin bug will have bitten you along the way if not already. Once that happens its hard to kick the coin habit. but why would anyone want to? Its not fun anymore? It will be fun forever.
I will post some Peace pics later today enjoying coins. Welcome

I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Sorry, I just couldn't help it.
