This is my first thread, so I will tell the forum a little about myself. I started collecting coins at the age of 10, a few years later I discovered girls (coins were put in the closet) I got married in the early 60's and rediscovered my coins. I have been a fanatic ever sense.
I like the early coins best (any denomination) and truly love original looking coins. Most everything I have is early from half cents to gold.
Sorry if this looks like an amature wrote this, but an amature did.

    Welcome Sam!

    This forum is no place for fanatics since we have w-a-a-a-y too many already! image

    Got any IKEs for your first 5 post giveaway??
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Welcome Sammy!

    BTW, coins are a great hobby, as they are MUCH cheaper than girls.

    Welcome !!!

    Our stories are similar...I collected as a child and then got totally distracted by the 60's...for me it wasn't until the Mint release of the Silver Buffalo Commemorative in 2001 that I was brought back into the 'fold'. Then, I made up for lost time...

    ...by 2003 I had 4 full sets...Buffalo Nickels, Walkers, Morgans and 1/4 Eagle Indians!! And a bunch more....image ....is there such a thing as "Numismatics Anonymous"? imageimageimage
    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    Yes, I will as I learn. I'm from the old school, so these computers sometimes confuse me.

    You may spell like an amature, but with that many years of collecting under your belt,
    I'm sure you'll bring pro-level knowledge to the table. image
