I was one of the original posters here back in 2001 under the handle 09SVDB. Sold my whole collection back in 2012. Just recently came back to collecting.

Who's still around?

I see Keets and Jeremy .

Who else?

    Welcome back, I just recently showed back up as well. Must be the quarantine. People stuck at home looking at coins.

    Thanks for all the "welcome backs". I was focused on rebuilding my AU + type set before the pandemic.

    My most recent success was a 5/7 submission to CAC. Which included a T2 1$ gold.

    Please stay safe everyone

    True. That's why I came back. Tom you were the one who originally taught me how to post pictures! Jeremy was graduating from HS. My god its been that long!

  • 09sVDB09sVDB Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭

    I just looked . It's been almost ten years since my last post. Wow

    Welcome back!
    I've only been here for a little over 12 years so I was around some before your departure.

    I am new to the site. It is fun to listen to the charter members talking.

    For what it's worth, my primary collecting interests (which will seem quaint to some I am sure):

    • Build a complete set of Wash Quarters through 2021 (maybe with proofs but mostly circulated)
    • Same as above for Kennedy Halves, but including proof coins for sure.
    • Goal Accomplished; Complete set of Franklins and Short set of Walking Liberty Halves. Traded\bought on this site to accomplish, and got great advice.
    • Complete set of Lincolns 1909 (no proofs). I'm very close...I'm all done but 2, and I am sure you know which ones ;) !
    • I have a few oddities like a Russian proof set, some other stuff I have come by...I also like to keep coins that look cool just from being tarnished, worn etc. and like to make nice settings for them with pretty hardwoods of functional items like lamps and etc.

    Yes, I have been working from home and will be for some time, hence how "talkative" I am...

    Anyway, cheers to all!

    Welcome back 09sVDB. You'll see a few of the old posters still here but there are a few that did not make it. Russ springs to mind. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. I don't recall if IGWT was active when you were first here, but sadly he, too, has passed away. There are some others who have left us--maybe some of the other long-time posters can help bring you back up to speed. And some posters seemingly just slipped away, similar to what you did. For example, one of my favorite posters, dog97 (I think), hasn't been seen in a while or, such as LordM, moved to other boards,

    However, even though some old friends are no longer with us, there is still a ton of camaraderie available and, to me at least, still a ton of fun reading posts and threads.

    Mark

    Thanks for the updates. Sorry to hear of the passing of the old members . I was wondering about them. I had greet dealings with both. I also had many transactions with Dog and Lord.
