Home U.S. Coin Forum

People here just amaze me.

I read the posts here and I am just blown away by the level of knowledge and expertise in various types of coins. I basically collect what you guys might call "pocket change". Even though most of the threads here are either over my head or well outsie my collecting interests, I really enjoy reading about all these really old coins that a lot of you collect. It's like having a virtual encyclopedia on US Coins. Just amazing. Thanks.

    Everything I write is my opinion.

    Looking for alot of crap.
  • I guess it's hard for me to argue, since i have not been here long. But there seems to be quite a few accomplished collectors here, and a rather diverse group as well. But anyone who knows more than me always impresses me.

  • I believe you're paraphrasing Groucho Marx "I wouldn't want to join an organization that was willing to have me as a member"

    Justgotripped, Most of us started with "pocket change". I started with circulated Jefferson nickels and world coin poundage.

    Wouldn't that be everyone???image

    Actually Justgotripped, based on your forum name, if you were sober, you'd be surprised at how much you knew already without us "Einsteins"!!!!

    The best threads are the ones that go over our heads.

  • I'm also a pocket change collector and the longer I stay in this forum the deeper into collecting I get.

    I'm even started buying from eBay. image

    People here know everything. Unfortunately it includes knowledge like

    the world is flat, disease comes from evil spirits and pregnancy is caused

    by hot, humid weather.

  • Well, from what I have read here there certainly are quite a few people who are very knowedgable, evidenced by the amazing coins they always seem to "stumble upon". I just love the stories of people buying raw coins, based on their knowedge of the series, and making MS65 Saints, of top Pop Accent hair kennedy's or SMS top pop Cameos.....just amazing.
  • I agree I have been helped and always treated fairly...

    This forum is and always will be #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With loads of information.
