    JD White MTTs - gotta love 'em

    The editor of Coin World announced today that they would be shutting down their Forum site on the 30 of Dec. I have invited the CW Forum members to join CoinTalk Forums and I hope you will make these folks feel at home. They are a good group of collectors.

    Thank you kindly,
    JD White

    Wow, that's interesting. I wonder why? I'm sure GD will fill us in.

    Well, hopefully a bunch of them will come over and make CoinTalk a more lively and interesting forum!! :)

    The ones who only post there may have a little trouble getting used to a forum where the newest post is at the bottom instead of the top. :D

    Yeah, LOL.

    Actually, that's one of the annoying things for me about that forum when I would lurk in there from time to time.

    I can certainly attest to the fact that there are lots of great people signed-up over at that site.

    To all of them: Welcome aboard.

    That's easily adjusted by each member to have it show the way they want it to show. Just select ascending or descending order ;)

    Coin World, isn't that the site where someone is always talking about some law regarding the minting of coins designs or something:)

    I was saddened and disappointed today when I saw Coin World was about to pull the plug on its forum.

    My spirits improved greatly when I learned of this new forum, and found that many of my friends from the old forum will be switching over.

    I really look forward to the new forum, and hope many of the "old gang" is here!

    Howdy and Welcome to all my old friends from Coin World ;)

    Coin Talk is not exactly new - it's been around for quite some time. But the atmosphere and the friendly members are much the same as it was on the CW forum.

    The rules are a bit different - you can do a few things here that you couldn't do at CW - like post links to eBay auctions for the purposes of discussion and links to other sites that you couldn't post there. But there are rules - and they are enforced. So please read them and become familiar with them. And if you have any questions - just ask. Either myself or one of the other Moderators will be more than happy to help ya out ;)

    I'm sure you guys will all like it here - I know I do :D

    Hi everybody! Count me in with the CoinWorld refugees. I see some names I recognize, but a lot of you are new to me. I feel like the new kid in school... :) This is gonna take some getting used to, but bear with me, OK?

    Rachel :p
