Just saying Hi.

My name is Paige and I am an 11 year old coin collector. I love my Dads Dollar collection but I am most interested in quarters and pennies. I have been reading this message board for a while, but decided to join with the great give away going on.

    I have found power in the mysteries of thought.

    It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.

    Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

    Welcome to the forum, Paige. I started with pennies too. Only it was about 55 years ago, when
    wheat cents were all there were. Well, once in a while I'd find an Indian Head Cent, but not often!
    Anytime you need help or another opinion feel free to ask.

    Welcome Ladybug. She's on the other computer up stairs and yes this is my daughter. She is turning into quite the coin geek. I doubt with her schedule she will post much, but she is always reading and asking questions. She keeps asking why I don't have a 69-S DDO or a 55 DDO. I think thats her dream coins. If she keeps it up, I have no doubt she will go far with this hobby. Feels kinda good that my collection may get passed down as I have coins from 4 generations ago. Here's one that she might get:

    Hi Paige,
    Here is a 50 year old welcome for you. They are from an original mint issued "mint set"
    that was made of cardboard, and resulted in the toning that you see here.

    the "cent" not really a penny

    and the quarter

    Glad to have another YN here and doubly glad you're a female - we need more of those! And Paige, in this room, there's no shame in being a coin geek ~ it's a status symbol!!!

    I started with cents when I was about your age thanks to my grandfather. Now I'm a grandma and can't wait til my 3 grandchildren (so far) are a little older to see if they enjoy it. Neither of my own kids caught the interest.

    My 3 year old grandson loves money because it goes into his piggy bank or he can buy things with it ~ but he knows the difference with my collections ~ those are respected not as"money", but as "Ma's coins"... sometimes I see glimmers of hope with him!

    Study hard, read coin books when you have time, and good luck with your essay!
