Call me what you want but my name is Randy and yes I have been trolling this board for some time now. This board has this feeling of people with a vast amount of knowledge and experience that can make it somewhat intimitating. Although it is understood that knowledge is king when it comes to understanding coins, so here I am. I am a collector, roll searcher, hoarder from my child hood days all the way back to the 60s. I collect pennies (cents) and have close to 50,000 saved from over the years. Yes I do have other coins and do not care to either upgrade them or even buy the ones that I am missing due to the cost. You see given the choice of spending the money on a 1916d dime or my real passion fishing, that is a no brainer. I live in the SF bay area and have a boat that if you think coins are expensive try a boat for salt water. Boat = but only another thousand. I have a fishing buddy that works at the Sf mint and last weekend he was telling me that they are having a big problem with the dies for the pres coins. So I hope to interject some other things that can help fellow collectors.

It's interesting to read that there are preliminary problems at the mint with these new coins. That might give way to some unique errors that could occur. I'm always searching for anomalies.
Super first post.
Welcome.

I am a fisherman too but do most of my catching south of the border. As such, I understand the financial aspect as any part that starts with the word "marine" triples the price. Hope you have found your lurking experience as rewarding as I did before I joined up a few weeks ago.

Fishing and coin collecting have a lot in common - the big one you landed for being at the right place at the right time, the monster that got away, and most fishermen and coin collectors like to brag about their catches!

I think the politically correct term is Fisherperson.
