AND I joined the Liberty Nickel Collectors Society.

I just started searching for certified coins because that's all I trust when I'm buying online

Very nice!

ALSO! I resubscribed to both CoinAGE and Coin World magazines and I now listen to the Coin World podcast. I follow those publications, CoinWeek, Heritage Auctions, and other places on Facebook. It's refreshing to have in my newsfeed.

I'm down but unsure of how to get it going!

Oh, and I bought a tripod and macro lens with the intention of photographing my prized pieces. Haven't used them yet.

Hey friends, Today marks the 14th anniversary of my membership on this great site! And it's my first visit since March 12th, so it took a global pandemic for me to finally not be on this site on a near-daily basis. My most recent post wondered what folks would do in regards to their collection if they were going to be home for a while... like in lockdown during a pandemic. Way back then (4 months ago that feels like eons), I think most of us were expecting 1-4 weeks home, not... 4 months and growing. Here's what I said I'd probably do: Ensure everything is properly sorted

Hey folks, Let’s say you’re stuck at home for a week (or more) and you finally have time to focus on your coin collection. What’s on your to-do list? Mine: - Ensure everything is properly sorted - Set aside coins and notes I’d like to give away to neighborhood kids - Ensure the coins and notes I want to focus on are properly cataloged - Identify a better way to store the collection - Find a way to collect through online purchases since the coin show I expected to go to next week is cancelled

My dad was USS Holder, DD-819. I believe it went off to Peru or Chile and eventually became a reef!

What ship were you on?

My bank has the feature but they don't feature it (does that make sense?). There are a fair amount of services it has that it kind of buries. You may want to ask your bank to see if they have a recommendation or if they have it.

Very cool!!

Very cool coins, guys. I've never seen images of old Toronto. Please keep sharing.

Trust your gut. Even if someone told you it was real, if you're looking at that coin 15 years from now and you still get the same feeling, then it's probably fake and/or not worthy of your collection.
