I just joined this group, I've been looking for a board of this type for a while. I've been collecting for about a year, both US and World coins and Currency. I'm one of those people who tend to be "obsessive" about my hobbies, so I've learned a lot, and collected quite a bit, buying World coins by the pound and Kilo on the internet and spending days sorting thru them. Also I've found a lot of really neat stuff at coin shows. I live in Western Oregon. I'm especially fond of Colorful Currency and Old British coins. I'll be glad to share my meger knowledge, and look forward to learning from the members of this board. Thanks, JonySky
