Hi all, Im new here!!

DickyBetz · May 31, 2005 6:07AM

Hey everyone, I have been reading through the forum for a while. I really like it here and have decided to join. I am 16 and have been collecting coins since i was about 9. I dont have much money to spend on coins (gotta save up for a car) but i try to get some new ones every now and then. I just love the history behind them. It is really fascinating (history is my favorite subject). Thanks in advance for any responses.

Ohio sounds nice, I would have asked "where u at" but first impressions are big and I wanted to sound sophisticated.

<< :Anywhere near Wayne, NJ? >>

I thinks it is like a good 20 min drive from my house. I am in Rockaway.

Hi and welcome --are you a fan of Dicky Betts and his red guitar?-I love him and Duane Allman--Glad to have you around Don/MM by the way what do you collect?

Longacre · May 31, 2005 6:27AM

PS. The babes will like the car better than the coins.

I also started out with a wheat cent collection. I like collecting a little of everything though. I have a few morgans, peace dollars, ikes suzy b's, Buffalo nickels, a lot of silver stuff, state quarters, commemoratives, silver eagles. Wow, thats a lot. I guess i just collect everything that i like.

Oh ok, thanks for the verification.

MrHalfDime · May 31, 2005 6:52AM

DickyBetz. The Allman Brothers are great, but I was always a Jeff Beck fan myself.

At your present age, your very diverse collecting interests are probably what is most recommended. Spread yourself around, look at lots of things, and take lots of time to decide what interests you most. You can always specialize later. The most important thing is to have fun with your hobby.

dizzyfoxx · May 31, 2005 9:21AM

Hi and welcome! I'm relatively new also. My advice at this time is be careful, these are shark-infested waters

Seriously though, I've enjoyed my time here thus far and it's always interesting.

Allman Brothers rule. Remember, the ONLY difference between RAP and CRAP is the letter "C"

Welcome aboard. I just got interested in collecting coins as a result of being ask to sell some coins from my Mother-in Law's Estate. While researching the coins and their value I found a few that I will keep. I now find myself looking at my pocket change. By the way I am 55 and I really enjoy the boards.
