We are all family, we are brought together for the love of coins...

LucyBop

This place is really great. We all share a common bond, the love and study of coins. Why must we fight and bash? (I know I'm guilty as well).... We all have a passion for a particular series...... My greatest love in coins is probably Winged Libertys.... I have loved these little JEWELs since I was a little girl. Being a big collector of the 1950s and one whom lives that lifestyle, the Franklin also won a special place in my heart. The last half dollar that had 100% silver and never clad.

I enjoy the threads on all coins, from the Bust coins to the Morgans to the Roosies to the new quarters. I love em raw and slabb'd...... I prefer PCGs but I own some lovely NGC coins and always give them a look. I also love the little seated half dimes, another series that I purchased many beat up ones as a child. I used to hold them and wonder who else held them and spent them, I would fantasize about the wild west cowboy days and gold coins being used.......

There are some coins I have always wanted but yet to buy, such as the Flying Eagle penny. I love them all, but my passion at this point is my Frankies....... We are one big family, and like most families, we don't always get along....... But this place is great...... To all whom have a passion for their series no matter what it is..... BE BOP A LULA to you!!!!!!!

That's okay Dog, we still love you. (And if you don't like it, bite me!)

HEY, this looks like an open forum topic!!! Just thought I would jump the gun before the forum gestapo shows up!!
Winged Liberties, Franklins and those cute Cam and Dcam Roosevelts are sweet!! Throw in a few varieties(which should happen in the registry) and you have a great set!!

Now I'm ready for my group hug!! Just keep an eye on Marty and Russ for any strange hand action!! They'll slip your coins away!!

If my kids didn't fight on a daily basis, I would be afraid that they were plotting to do something really bad to each other.

Nice thread. One of the reasons I still like the PCGS forum is the diversity. Not just in interest, but in collector experience and approach to the hobby. The enthusiasm and open mindedness of the newer collectors often uncovers things that those who are set in their ways overlook. Everyone can learn something here if you ignore the nonsense, sometimes the most succulent meat sits right next to the gristle.

Clankeye

Great post, Shylock. Ditto that.

The fighting/ bashing is depressing at times, but those little "battles"
are quickly forgotten and overall I agree with Lucy, " this place is really great " and Lucy is one of the Gems.

BE BOP A LULA LUCY !!!!!!!

And I would never arrest her ' for disturbing the piece '

barberlover

Anyone that would pay money to collect little shiney round pieces of metal must be freakin nuts !!!
Oh... well, so I'm freakin nuts.

I still remember the first time my dad brought me to his favorite coin shop and I saw my first buffalo nickle and my first gold coin. It kinda made my Jefferson and Lincoln collections pale in importance.

I am proud to have been told by fatman that I love "shiney round pieces of metal" he was absolutly right! Especially if that shiney metal was made before my grandparents were born.

Great thread Lucy!
