Hello Everyone - First Post

I've been reading this forum for about 6 months now and decided it's finally time to join in! My wife wishes I'd never found this addicting place.
I started collecting when I was a kid and then off and on until really on about 5 years ago. I'm trying to build a Carson City set of silver dollars all in PCGS holders (been working on it for 5 years) and I also love collecting halves and quarters from Carson City. I mainly like lower circulated problem-free coins in these sets. It's neat to think about them actually being used.
I just saw a thread started today referring to a coin I'm selling on ebay. It's my beloved 1892-O micro O Barber half that I wasn't planning on selling until something great came along last week that I needed the funds for (will post that when it comes in). This was the only Barber in my collection and I thought my first post on here would be in the monster barber thread (until I decided to sell it).
My 6 year old son has started collecting with me and we mainly search bank cent rolls together although he has a Dansco wheat cent album about 90% full! His best find in rolls is a 1998 Wide AM cent. It's amazing how much he has learned about numbers and counting money in the last year by doing this.
Anyway, I wanted to say thanks to all the truly knowledgeable posters that make this place so wonderful.

and great Micro O, truly PQ for the grade assigned. Although not nearly as nice as yours, your auction will help me assess a value to the piece I have

Realone - No big story in acquiring the 92-o micro o coin. I wish I could say I discovered it but I bought it from dealer and paid a lot for it.
