    Welcome, with a friend and hopefully a mentor such as keets you already have a "headstart" in your area of collecting.

    hey George

    glad you finally signed on, we can use all the Jefferson guys we can get!!! i think it's kind of funny that we knew each other for quite awhile before we discovered the common collecting bond. i'll be looking for you early in the mornings and late at night. keep in touch with the PM function buddy, there's lots of fun ahead.

    Welcome to the boards!

    In the spirit of keets' movie trivia signatures, my name is Jim, but most people just call me....Jim.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Welcome to the boards, Jeffs are great fun to collect. Keets is an incredible source of knowledge on Jeffs so listen to what he says. If you have any questions just fire away and someone with expertise in that area will share their knowledge. There are a great bunch of people here.
