<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Norman Asis, post: 2943129, member: 87899&quot;]I&#039;ll share a little&nbsp; background on how I got started with this hobby.&nbsp; I have a disability that is prevents me from getting/sustaining a gainful employment.&nbsp; I needed something that will pre-occupy my mind so as an not to give in to despair.&nbsp; I happened to come by some coins and paper money that I kept during my time in the service. Initially I wanted to see if it contained any precious metals. Then all this sites popped up on different topics and attributes that make a coin valuable. I liked that you need to really pay attention to details. I loved the fact that it kept my mind occupied&nbsp; which aid todistract me from intruding thoughts. However, it turned out that I actually love and enjoyed&nbsp; doing it. It helped me socialize with cashiers, tellers, just to name a few. Eventually, it led me to this group. I&#039;ve learned a lot from this group. </p><p>I know that the experienced members are getting fatigued from questions especially those that pertain to doubling and coin value.&nbsp; Some members alluded that some are lazy and were just relying on members opinions, insights and expertise. Unfortunately, majority of my post/questions&nbsp; is about DD. I just don&#039;t have a knack when it comes to identifying true DD. </p><p>I joined this group to learn from everyone, experience not withstanding.</p><p>As for posting an image, I just have to do with what I have. I am trying to learn how to take better photos. I would love to get my hands on some better equipment but my resources are quite limited. Not having the equipment doesn&#039;t imply that this is a passing fancy. However, that is your opinion, I may not agree with it, but,I respect it. </p><p>Thanks for your patience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
