Useless tidbit

OldhoopsterOldhoopster Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭✭✭

I belong to some other numismatic forums and went to sign up for an account on CU. Imagine my surprise when It said I already had an account. Apparently I signed up in July 2001 under the same username. It only took 16+ years for me to post something.

    A little bit of everything. Lately, I've been interested in medieval Europe, Germany 1873-1945 and Germany Notgeld (metal, porcelain , and paper). The kids are in college so buying has been limited.

    Actually, I started as a kid in the early 70's. I've stayed active since then.

    Dark side collector mainly. Nothing wrong with that. Been looking into Anglo-Saxon coins lately, ( due to a recent post) they are
    absolutely fascinating. And are exceedingly scarce, in what little research I have done so far. stay tuned
