...if you can locate the thread with your very first post, link it here. Mine had to do with one of the first commems I had ever acquired. I no longer have it, but I sure wish I did. Let's see (or hear about) your first post on the forum. Time to wind back the clock...

Here's the thread containing my first post.

    I forget my very first post, but i PM'd TDN before i ever posted, and looking back it was embarrassing and thankfully he didn't respond. image

    I gave him a link to the 'finest known' 1851 seated dollar, then realized it was a restrike proof.
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    The first thread I ever started.

    It has about as many replies as I usually ever get!

    Notice the questions bout "How do you post pictures...............yada yada".
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Joe, hate for you to be left out. From what I can find in the search, your 1st post was in a monster thread: "Buyer beware when dealing w/ Superior Galleries!" and you mentioned your Trade Dollar experience.

    Your first thread you started looks like: Satin Finish on Business Strikes? image

    I didn't get one when I joined, either. Although Kranky did welcome me to the forums. (I know him from another forum).

    I have no idea where mine would be, since I started on the first board. Then transferred here as soon as the switch was made.... I believe it is untraceable... at least I think so... Cheers, RickO

    You can search using your user name.

    Apparently this won't work if you ever posted on the old open forum however.

    Here's mine. It's your typical newbie coming out first post, nothing fancy. From reading the thread though you can really tell that I didn't know what the hell I wanted to collect at the time haha. Ah, to be young and innocent again.....

    My first thread...and I still have never seen a PCGS lable this color.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I wish I could go back and change my first thread... image

    It was a lame attempt at humor as I sarcastically put that "I love the new GW's" in the title...


    -WOW I just read my only post in that thread too, geez I was dork 4 months ago image

    "Yeah it looks like we are flooding the site like 'rare' upside-downers are on eBay... I hope I can prove to be a smoothie amongst the rough when its all said and done. "
    First get the knowledge, then the coins.

    I was mistaken about not being able to find your old posts
    if you had posted on the open forum. You'll just have to do
    a new search.

    If you posted before August, '02 you'll need to search the ar-
    chived messages.

    I think this one's mine;



    << <i> Friday, April 19, 2002 9:47 AM



    I like both the modern and the classic coins.

    I can afford rare modern coins.

    I should have mentioned that the archived posts are repeated three
    times and you'll need to highlight the page number in the address bar
    and add "1" to it to see all the messages in most threads.

    I remember my first thread(s). It was about a 1999 S dime (silver proof set dime) I noticed the
    olive leaves on the left side were golded colored and not the normal frosted white like every
    modern proof set coin.
    I (still) believe it to be unique since no one has reported another like it.

    I can't recall my first post, but my first thread?
    I offered a PCGS nicely toned 1964 Kennedy in MS67 on the Buy/Sell forum for $300.00.
    The coin, being a Modern, was quickly scoffed at, no matter it was, I think, about a POP 5 coin at the time.


    I sure wish I had that coin back now.
