there's been some key relationships online here that have been there for me more then words could ever convey and it's to these forums and pcgs that i truly find myself with a select collection i can be proud of
pcgs staff can never be thanked enough too
everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see
I am thankful for having great friends in the collecting community, some of whom I have never met (including Longacre and Russ), and a place to share stories, tips, photos, and laughs, some of which are actually coin-related, here at the CU forum.
I'm thankful for being able to enjoy collecting in so many more ways now than when I was a kid - interacting with a variety of collectors here on the forum; looking at quality pictures of coins on websites; having so much information about coins available at my fingertips.
I'm also thankful that every once in a while I get to buy a coin I could only dream about when I was young.
I am thankful for so many blessings and a country where reasonable freedom and prosperity exists (for now) to enable me to spend a little time in a hobby called coin collecting. My thanks goes to the great provider, God.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
I'd say I would have to be thankful to the people who freely contributed to the hobby, be it knowledge, help or simply being decent honest sellers/buyers/dealers. My wife for ignoring my obs^H^H^Hhobby (and for giving me a wonderful YN ).

thankful to dealers who buy the slab and not the coin. lol Had an 1877 indian in xf 45 that was NOT 45, he didnt even look and gave me a 200 dollar profit on it.
In coindom (and yes, I origionally misread the title also ) I am thankful for;
Here ... these boards, where a quirky infestation of collectors, dealers, wannabes and trolls shares thoughts, lives and most interesting bits of history, knowledge and wisdom freely
Friends and aquaintences I have met through the hobby, both here and away
and finally, my modest collection ... something I have pursued for 20 years now, and which still gives me pleasure and solace ... and which is something I can thankfully afford to keep as a caretaker (for now) and continuing to pursue building (in the future).
Happy Thanksgiving all!!

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
