Hey folks! I've read with great interest the many threads here over the past month or so. This seems like a very informative and energetic bunch of collectors! Personally, I collect US and World gold, including the Franklin Mint world gold issues of the 70s (which can be found for under melt value, if you're lucky). I have also become fascinated with '64 Kennedy Proof halves, having been a fan of these halves as a kid during the 70s. I enjoy finding the different varieties of Cameo, Accented Hair and other neat things with this beautiful coin. I was recently lucky to find 5 Accented Hair 64s out of 10 unopened 64 proof sets; not bad at all! image

Okay, enough rambling..........I just wanted to introduce myself, and hope to become a contributor to this forum.

    yeah...just a tad. I think our high is going to be upper 70's/low 80's today. My wife and I have a moritorium on locations further south than about Camp Verde between May and September. We turned into real heat wimps when we left Tuscon for the East Coast.

    Cheers
