I like the links to E bay, members post, that show wacky or fraudulent activity. I certainly would not have the time to find them on my own. There are also some funny people here. I get a kick out of MadMarty and Russ. Those posted photos of coins, especially rainbow toned Morgans. I also like the fact that you can turn on the site and there is always new and interesting comments from the members. What do you like? image

    Basically all of the above. There's no doubt that this forum is an important part of the numismatic community as far as the sharing of knowledge goes. I owe a great deal of what
    I've learned about coins to the members here. image

    Edited to say: Heck, this IS the numismatic community! image

    A flaming thread every once in a while is enjoyable (as long as I'm not the target).

    The sharing of opinions and knowledge is my most liked about this forum. Great place for coin info. and I have a feeling there are more people with coin interests that are visiting here and not posting, than there are posters.

    What do I like?

    image I like that I can ask questions and get good answers,
    Cause I'm a dummie.image

    I love the pics, and wish I had the equipment and the coins to post my own. Instead of crummie scans.image

    I like that I can express an honest opinion, I can make a joke, or just lurk. and still learn about coins and collecting.

    I like giveaways even though I haven't won any.

    And I like that the experts And others are willing and happy to help a dummie, newbie, or YN. to learn more about the hobbie.image

    thats enough.

    What I like most are the coin pictures! And not just because I posted some. I've always liked coin pics here since I first joined and before I even had a digital camera. It's all about the coins. image

    I also enjoy the stories that go along with some of the coins.

    I personally like to hear the constructive criticism as well as worthy praise by collectors responding to others's prized possessions. I also very much like to read about people being excited when adding a treasure to their collection. I am relatively new to the coin hobby but have learned a tremendous amount in a short period of time. dizzyfoxx

    All of the reason's RYK posted in October, and my favorite quote from that post on the subject, from Adrian (ANACONDA);

    To come and express our ideas (and sometimes ourselves) and have them challenged and chewed upon which allows us to reflect upon them more objectively. I could add (and sometimes our coins) when we post them and ask opinions.

    Some good one's here too ... BTW ... welcome DizzyFoxx

    The absolute number 1 thing I like most about this forum is all the "Guess the grade of this already graded coin" threads.

    I get a kick out of old threads that are referenced or brought forth. It's fun to compare the graybeards' inputs then and now.
