New Member in the Neighborhood

Hello all... been reading posts on here for some time and have finnaly joined! Look forward to hanging around here... I am also the proud new owner of the newly auctioned Cheerios Dollar! image Thanks so much to Pat for all of his help and information.

I am a collector of Early Commems (my favorite - Ranked 17 right now so have a bit of work to do! image, Modern Proof Commems (I currently have the #1 set on PCGS), and pretty much anything else I can waste... uh... invest my money into.

So that's about it for now.. look forward to learning and chatting with all of you.

oh... actually... 1st stupid question... how do you attach pix the right way... it says too big... must be 50k or less... did i miss something? i see massive pix on here all the time.

Thanks!!

    image to the boards! This is a great place to hang out!

    As for the pics, you should upload them to a site like photobucket and attach them that way.

    advise well taken... it has been something i have been trying to do from the beginning (though not always done!)... but hey... i am trying!

    thank you.

    I have been focusing on learning original surfaces from cleaned or otherwise... let me tell ya... i am SHOCKED that so many dealers have a hard time telling the diff (non-toned coins seem to be the hardest)... makes it hard when you are learning yourself... I have found that most times I have been able to tell the diff and they can not... scary stuff... especially when the prices can be so much wider.

    There's a phrase that I think is intended to be complimentary here, and it's seldom given out. It is an award that most veterans around here get when they acquire a numismatic piece well under market value. What is known in the industry "ripping". You did not exactly get a RIP with Pat's coin, but you have earned the coveted award :


    YOU SUCK.

    I mentioned in another thread I thought he was moderate to low for the price he set on the coin. You are smart and obviously agreed.
    I think you will find in short order what a fabulous choice you've made.
    Welcome aboard.

    OH OH OH... i can not agree more... i am soooo excited... the funny thing is i knew it was for sale from this board... i have been looking high and low ever since it surfaced and consider that one of my throphy coins... though I know many would not agree... but that's ok... when a coin makes you feel a certain way and you just love the story it has to tell... does anything else matter? well... maybe money... but I am really excited about it anyways. thanks for you comments... makes me even happier!
