Actually, the best thing about the hobby is that most of the people in it are basically kind and willing to help others--and even though things here get out of hand, most of the people here fit that description.
Lucy, thank you, first and foremost, for the contest. You are way too generous.
That's just one of the nice things in the forum. People are kind to mostly perfect strangers. As a semi lurker here, I see it all the time.
This is a very kind place. Yes, it does have it's occasional battles. However, most of the time, anyone can find: expert knowledge, humor, a familial spirit, a PM when someone senses you are troubled etc.
I do not expect to win. However, if I do, I would be thrilled to have the dime in my typeset. The other coin would be a permanent gift to the history department at a local high school for the very academically gifted. Those kids would go nuts over such a piece to refer to when they study that time period.
I have been collecting coins since long time and I enjoy my collections very much. I don't let few people or few threads take away my enjoyment. Happens in every hobby, so don't let that affect you. Trust me it will pass and the threads will be long gone and forgotten but not the enjoyment of the coin collecting.
"And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him;and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts: gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:11) I am fascinated with the thought that possibly some of my gold coins may contain some of that gold from that time so long ago. I think that pondering the baby Jesus is always a positive thought. Thank you Lucy, this thread has lifted my spirit.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done. Nothing you can sing that can't be sung. Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. It's easy.
Nothing you can make that can't be made. No one you can save that can't be saved. Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. It's easy.
All you need is love. All you need is love. All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
All you need is love. All you need is love. All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
Nothing you can know that isn't known. Nothing you can see that isn't shown. Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy.
All you need is love. All you need is love. All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
All you need is love (All together, now!) All you need is love. (Everybody!) All you need is love, love. Love is all you need. Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need (love is all you need). Love is all you need. Yee-hai! Love is all you need. Love is all you need. Yesterday. Love is all you need. Oh Love is all you need. Oh yeah! She loves you, yeah yeah yeah. She loves you, yeah yeah yeah. Love is all you need. Love is all you need. Love is all you need. Love is all you need.
... a little bit of cash doesn't hurt either.

Kitty, one of the great things about this hobby is people like you.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." -Luke 11:9
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22
Coin collecting is a passion hobby that many other hobbies can not match, and I think it relates to having a piece of history that has survived in various conditions that you can hold in your hand, that maybe was held by a past president, revolutionary soldier, civil war soldier, statesman, or just plain farmer that had to clear his own land with a mule. If they could only talk, a true collector is always listening.
