Greetings from Boston!

Hello All!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've spent many months reading these boards and thought I should introduce myself and say thanks for all the great stories, advice and information. image
I look forward to participating in future topics.

-Steve

    Welcome to the boards, MAproof. What do you collect?

    And more importantly, how in the world do you maintain your sanity driving in that town! 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.

  • Hello and welcome!

    I'm glad you're here image
  • Jump on in Steve...the water is warm! Nice to see another Pats fan!

  • Thanks for the warm welcome folks!

    Let's see... I started collecting proof sets a couple of years ago and have managed to complete the run starting from 1954. I've since moved on to Frankies, Kennedys and buffalo nickels.

    Since you are in Boston, might I suggest you stop in at the gift shop that is attached to the Far North Church of Paul Reveere fame. As I recall from my visit there they have genuine samples of the early currency that was used in colonial America. There are also some items of numismatic interest in the museum that is just above the MTA stop under the hall that fronts where the Boston Massacre occurred.

    Of coure since Boston is your home this may not be news to you, but it does suggest a thread that might be of interest. It would be neat if posters from various cities could enlighten others on the board what is of numismatic interest in their communities in the event others of us get a chance to travel through them at some future date.

    Welcome to the boards to all newbies.image
  • Welcome, we just acquired a company in Boston (Woburn actually) and all I know about Boston so far is that you pronounce Woburn as Woo-burn. Any good coin stores I should visit while I am up there??

    The place you're referring to is The Old State House. Built in 1713, this was the headquarters of the British Government in Boston.
    The Boston Massacre occurred just outside its doors in 1770. It is the oldest surviving public building in Boston. Now a Museum of Boston History, it is located at the corner of State and Washington Streets. Inside you will find on display, historical documents, period clothing, continental currency and 18th century artwork.

    It's one of the major stops on the Freedom Trail. If anyone plans a trip to Beantown, the Freedom Trail is a great take-in for the day.
