[QUOTE="sixsix, post: 683860, member: 20180"][b]Since you asked...[/b] Well, been fooling w/ the internet for almost 20 years now ( I'm 57 ). Have been on many forums for various hobbies, etc., just not coin studying and collecting. Each time I will "lurk" for weeks, as I did here, gleaning info, searching my butt off, reading posts, going thru the various forum areas to find the right matches or groups for q $ a's. I hate to ask obvious and stupid questions. Pinpointing an answer is really hard now with the way the search engines work. Most forums use just a few services and they all, if not most, are aggravating. An example: My 1st set of questions involved a 20th Century Type set. Search engine gives me "20th" and "Century" hits - lots to go thru and so many non-applicable posts ( hey, I just bought my 20th Ike..." and "What Century is your favorite for cents...?" ) 8 Real or 8 Reales was a good one. Maybe - most probably, it's me - I'll keep trying. In the meantime - any hints? :bow: Mike[/QUOTE]
