New member introduction?

Babboonbobo69 · November 30, 2017 5:05PM

I don’t mean to start a new thread if there is a new member introduction thread but I did not find one, so.

Hello my name is Bob and I have just decided to get back into collecting (out since 2003) I was doing dollar registry sets.
I had really nice sets of Sacajaweas, SBA (before there was an MS67 81S) and Morgan all in the registry.

I am now going to start with a silver Circulation strike type set. First coin is a very nice 1917 MS63fh Standing Liberty Quarter.

Let me try an image. My first coin purchase other than bullion coins in 14 years.

I do not have any of them anymore. I sold off everything in 2003 and just got interested in starting back up. The one shown above is my first coin for getting back into it. I like “white” coins

That's a great coin to re-start with! Welcome to the forum.

BryceM · November 30, 2017 6:20PM

That’s a pretty nice coin to start with. Welcome!

Welcome to the forum, nice SLQ by the way.

Babboonbobo69 · November 30, 2017 6:37PM

Thanks all, I just plan to stalk the forum and try to get up to speed on what’s been happening the last decade or so.

Sure, I had a boss one time that said my head was red like a baboons a** (I’m a red head) and a little Hawaiian girl who called me Bobo all the time.
Put them together and it stuck for something like 25 years now?!

messydesk · November 30, 2017 10:09PM

Welcome! Nice choice for an SLQ type coin.

Cameonut · December 1, 2017 3:36AM

Back when I was getting the weekly Coin World, the wife-to-be asked, "What could possibly have happened in the past WEEK to coin collecting?" I tried to argue.....But she was probably right.

Same might be said for the last 10 years.

Get up to speed on the whole "CAC thing", and it will be like you never left.

Yeah I’ve been reading copious amounts on here for the last couple days and need to figure out some of the abbreviations being used and CAC was not around the last time I bought a coin. So I definitely need to get up to speed but I’m working on it.

And a thank you to everyone who likes my SLQ I waited until I found the “perfect” one for me to start again and this one was it.

silverpop · December 1, 2017 12:55PM

welcome

ColonelJessup · December 1, 2017 1:00PM

Welcome back.
I got here after you left, and I don't know if @Laurie had yet introduced "chat-room chimps" into the numismatic lexicon.
I'm curious as to your observations about whether chimps or your kindred are better graders.
Did you know BONGO? Cousins maybe?

This a good time to re-enter for fun and a few cheap thrills.
CAC threads are incredibly repetitious. One member pledged 6 months off and made it 6 weeks

Trolls: same circus, different clowns
