[font=Comic Sans Ms][size=3]Hello you guys. I started collecting with my father around 1958. It's been on and off, now it's on.
Coin collecting brings my father back to me. I can sense him looking over my shoulder. He never bought anything, he just went through his change. I think his best find was a '14D cent in not too good shape. He'd found every Lincoln Cent except the S-VDB. He loved Indians. (Not East Indians, Indian cents.)
And I love the look, too. Coins are beautiful to me.
Man, I have to tell you, before registering here I registered at another numismatic forum site, which shall go nameless. It had the usual general topics, Halves, Cents, etc., but when you went into a topic to read or post a thread it was all X-rated adult stuff not related to coins, at all. It scared the pants off me (well, not literally). I'm afraid now it has my e-mail. Has anyone else seen that forum and dealt with it?
Anyhow, it's good to be here.

I don't know those forums but I can tell you, as someone who was apprehensive about joining a forum, you have come to a great place. Welcome!
This forum is filled with friendly and very knowledgeable collectors. If you stick around, you will see why so many people have so many posts - we love this place.
Welcome, once again!

I'm on a few forums. This seems to be the one I visit the most, but I think I know which forum you are referring to. It has had some real spam problems over the last few days. Welcome to Coinpeople.

[font=Comic Sans Ms][size=3]You gents sound all right to me. I'm sure I'll be happy here. Like so many others, I like Lincolns, Indian Cents and Walkers, mostly.
