MDS Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 To all, Just a very minor introduction to the forum. Name is Mark and I have just very recently found my way to Ancient Hammered/UK Coins. More directly that I am currently leaning to those of Elizabeth I. The first thing that I am doing is educating myself but joining such forums as this and secondly reading everything and thirdly, books! My back ground is a life time of being raised in an eviroment of history, militaria and collecting! I am currently a collector of British Medals (Royal Navy and 44th Foot) but I have a constant thurst for knowledge and unfortunately for my wife, collecting :-). At least she is tolerant of such...for now! Anyway, I again look forward to reading and learning from the members of this forum and thanks for being patient!

constanius Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Welcome to the forum Mark, happy collecting. I suggest you keep the wife in the dark as much as possible, separate bank accounts help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdesk Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Welcome to the forums, Mark. I'm a newbie too. As for your wife, you could do like my husband did with his collecting. He'd buy something for my collection when ever he'd buy something for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 A very warm welcome to you Mark! Good to see another, if only a potential, hammered collector join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi Mark welcome to the forum, would love to not only see your coins but any chance of seeing some of those medals Now as for the wife why not get her interested in collecting something as well LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDS Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 To all, Thanks for the warm reply and suggestions on the wife issue She really is tolerant with my hobbies to a point. Especially when it pays for nice things like trips and Christmas. She has absolutely no interest in collecting anything, you might say we are on two sides of a coin when it comes to that. I again thank each and look forward to learning my way forward Mark P.S. De Orc, are you a collector of medals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flbandit Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi there! I recently caught a break from my wife when I showed her some of my silver bullion and told her it was like having a savings account, just in silver! Of course, I may now be in trouble if the washer breaks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
