    I sincerely hope I'm not being a nuisance, but am having trouble applying for membership in WINS.

    After filling out the information required and hitting the "add" button I get nothing but a mesage saying "URL Not Found."

    Is the problem that my server is Internet Explorer, or that I'm using a Mac?

    Not exactly computer literate, obviously.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Gary and anyone else interested in WINS -

    At the present time WINS is undergoing some changes and in the process of moving the WINS web site and the mail lists to a new server. As a result - not all the bugs are worked out just yet but we hope they will be very soon. Please don't be discouraged by this - we just need a little time.

    In the meantime - please feel free to contact me directly, I am a WINS Society Officer, and I will make sure that you are not forgotten. Please - do not send me your personal information - a simple email will do so that I may contact you when all is well and working again. gdjmsp@qwest.net

    Can i be the family member that everyone always asks "i thought you said he was coming to this party?", although he never does put in that promised appearance. :D

    Actually that sounds alot like me...

    Ok, for everyone who is curious- here's the Queen story. I was crowned Queen by Crystalk64 (I think) after I was mentioned in the "Found in Rolls" column in CoinWorld a few years ago. That and a couple of state quarter first reports. My 15 minutes of fame lasted far longer than I ever could have imagined! :D I think between us three chicks we can keep these rowdies in line! Now I don't know about still being the Queen, but Lady Kyra has a nice ring to it... ;)

    Rachel :p

    Hello, I just shipped over from Coin World too. Thanks for sharing this site and inviting us here JD. I see a lot of familiar names so it should be fun.

    We don't have to take anyone's forum crown away from them, or even fight over it much. Several nations have had co-sovereigns. Great Britain's William III and Mary II (i.e William and Mary) were one. Russia's Peter I (the Great) began his rule that way. In each case, the co-sovereigns were equal in power and equal in honor. So therefore,

    God Save the Queens!

    It's interesting though, that of the few women I've talked to who are into numimatics, they were all led here by a male relative. Robin's Joe will be the exception to this.

    Well, I'm no exception either! I have my dad, and to a smaller extent my granddad to thank (or blame) for my current addiction. I got it from both sides of the family, so I guess I was doomed... :D

    Hey All,
    Regardless of the reason there here. I like having them around. They provide a different perspective on coins and that's neat in my book. The ones I have dealt will all have been queesns as far as I'm concerned.
