Life update and coin update

As many of you know, I’m one of the younger members on the forum. In fact I was still in highschool until yesterday! Now I’m graduated I hope I can focus on college and my coins.
Speaking of coins, here’s some of my hammered coins, many you have already seen. A groat of Mary, a half groat of Henry vii, a denier of Richard the lion, a half penny of Richard ii and an Irish Edward IV penny!

My apologies for the hairy tray. Here’s the culprit behind it.

@Clonecommanderavgvsvs Congratulations!
Have you chosen a major yet?

 

Congrats.

 

Congrats

 

Don't rush on starting a major, 50-80% of US 1st year college students change it at least once. My advice is to only consider a major that you would REALLY like to do for the rest of your life. I didn't because I depended on grants and scholarships that were linked to the major. Jim

 

Does any of your high school buddies appreciate your “weird” interest in numismatics?

My high school peers didn’t understand my fascination with old coins. Then again, most young people are degenerate plebs

 

Thank you every one!)

some found it cool others not really. My English teacher loved it when I brought in Medieval English/Scottish coinage when we read Macbeth and Richard ii.

Another recent purchase I got on graduation!

 

That's awesome! I remembered you from the trays - a previous post.

Nice coins! I was only just starting out when I was in high school.

 

Congratulations!

 

C.commander., Congrats on reaching this milestone . May the goddess of wisdom guide the rest of your journey .

 

Congratulations

 

Congratulations! I have a feeling you'll be successful in whatever major you choose.

 

Congratulations, busy times ahead. Enjoy college.

 

I started out as a math major. Changed to meteorology after 2 quarters. Added Asian studies for a GPA boost, and went for a masters in Chinese archaeology. Now I’m a meteorologist for the navy. Things change and you end up where you end up.

 

Congratulations!!

 

Yes, congratulations…Don’t forget girls, beer and study hard.

 

I was drafted into the army during my first year in university. I was not attending class and my grades were so poor, the draft board took notice. I entered the army and retired from the army 33 years later (I just didn't know the draft was only for two years). Anyway, my point is I never saw myself in the military when I graduated high school. So, like @hotwheelsearl said, you will end up where you end up.

P.S. I did achieve two degrees while I was serving. So all's well that ends well.

 

Wow, Bing, what a story! 33 years is very respectable. I’m currently wondering if I’ll even serve past the minimum commitment! Thank you for your service. Vietnam was a trip. My dad, a marine Helo pilot, missed the war by one year. Average life span was 30 days for helos, so it’s a miracle I’m even here!

 

I was a passenger in a Huey when it was shot down. Good pilot saved our lives. Vietnam was an experience!!
