    You're a fine young man and that came shining through early on. YOUR open-ness

    and genuine interest in this hobby, I sincerely hope stay with you all the days of your

    life, Kevin. These qualities endeared me and I dare say all of us to you and I see nothing

    but a bright future out in front of a young life filled with endless possibilities.

    Always stay...."just Kevin"!image

  • --Adding more names soon. Thanks Aeth and Boom, I appreciate it.
  • I didn't want to post my thanks openly because I was afraid people on these boards would tease me. I thought people would get the impression that I'm trying to brag or I'm only here to scam people. That's not the case, all these people gave me things freely to help my collection. That's not what counts, it's the advice that counts image

    Good way to get a free coin with your fanam. image

    It ain't gold, but it looks like it. I'm leaving now to run some errands. First stop is the P.O., where your stuff will be mailed. Then I gotta get my company ID renewed so they'll let me in to work tomorrow (the summit is so close now that security is already getting cranked up tighter). Then it's off with my new metal detector to the old Hamilton plantation site, hopefully to score a large cent.

    I'd send it back and tell him you want "real" gold

  • Goldcoinlover,
    Your appreciation of the hobby is all the thanks I need. I really like seeing young collectors getting in to the hobby. My 8 year old son now has a love for Carson City Morgans like you wouldn't believe. Glad he didn't get the Gold bug.

    I hope you continue on your journey with the hobby and remember the folks that helped you out as you mature and are able to "pay it forward" when you get older.

    Yeah, what's the deal? Are those those fanams gold or not?
