Greetings all,
Just wanted to take a moment to express my thanks to everyone on this forum, this is a great resource. I've been collecting coins on and off for the past 35 years, discovering and reading this forum (and treasurenet) has me jazzed about the coin hobby again.
I remain pleasantly surprised at the number of wheats coming in NF String boxes in the central plains states, I hope it continues. My mom got me into coins when I was little, she worked at a bank in the '50's and '60's. I still have her old school Lincoln book, and all of her IH finds from her days in the bank. This usually gives me a bit of inroads with even the hardest tellers, never a bad thing. Anyway, as someone who mainly just sorted CWR's for years, it's nice to see some archeological grade metal still floating around in the cardboard boxes!
HH, John

JJM, welcome to the site. Please feel free to contribute. Glad to have you.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

I agree. I hang around a number of forums and this one is, by far, the best. |

Thanks to everyone who chimed in.
Thanks for the welcome Kirkland, yup - I've lurked for a long time, this was my first post.
Marine70, all I can say is "ditto". Or should that be "oorah!"? (My father was a Marine, 51-53.)

Deal, thanks for the welcome. Not sure I'll have anything new to add to the mix. But I can probably help others make money by not following my PM buying / selling habits. In other words, do the opposite of what I'm doing...lol. 
Ditto to Theo's comment as well.
And from another thread:

Nothing wrong with shiny new boxes John.. you can often trade those for coppers or other coins that you need. Welcome to the forum. A lot of us here are collectors as well as hoarders. I have only been collecting about 9 years longer than you. My dad started me with one of those whitman thumbuster books when I was really young.
Sage advice HCBTT, thanks. :-) |

| I frequent several forums for different interests, but this one is head and shoulders above the rest. |
Are you throwing that out? |
