    Russ, you and I were born in the same year, and I'm really sure that I'm not 28. Is there special dispensation granted to H.G.s?

    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.

    Where'd ya get all that hair, GSAGUY?

    Just so you young punks know there's something to look forward to, being old means you're not forced to have sex as much. image

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    I'm right with you GSAGUY, I just have a little more hair than you actually do!

    I think in a former life (late 1800s). GSA Guy worked in a factory similiar to the willy wonka factory and was paid in morgans, rainbow morgans to be more specific.

    And now he is just reliving his childhood. You are only as old as you live.

    Turned 50 last summer! Quoting a Rod Stewart lyric, "I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger. I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger."

    Not complaining - just thinking of my 20's and 30's!!

    Three of our kids have kids of their own. When those grandkids have kids of theirown, I might consider accepting that I'm begining to age slightly.
