<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7949821, member: 100459&quot;]There are times that the people that have been a member for quite a while, don&#039;t have the patience with Newbies because they ask questions that we did when we joined.&nbsp; I joined January 2019, which is only about 3 years ago.&nbsp; It is true that we do ask a lot of questions when we first join, but after a while, like me, I found out I had a lot to learn.&nbsp; My father taught me to listen until you can ask a question that will be informative.&nbsp; Coin Talk is a great place to get answers, but first, you need to listen.&nbsp; I get answers to coin collecting question from several different places.&nbsp; I appreciate the help I have gotten from Coin Talk, but I read The Numismatist from ANA, Coin World, and many other sources.&nbsp; I got a lot of information from Local Collectors, Coin Shops, and my uncle that lives 3,000 miles away in California.&nbsp; </p><p>I will say this again.&nbsp; The people I have met through many of the places I go, have been more than willing to help me.&nbsp; Then through my blog in Numismatist website.&nbsp; I did get in a quandary when I was going through my father&#039;s coin collection. A great deal of his coins were almost unreadable, and thanks to a member of Coin Talk, I was told that I needed to get a loop or magnifying glass so I could look closer at his coins.&nbsp; That opened another world for me.&nbsp; I&#039;m, by no means, very knowledgeable about all his coins, but thanks to coin talk, many of my questions have been answered.&nbsp; I have been keeping a journal about my life since I was 17.&nbsp; Any question that I have, I write it in my journal, leaving space for an answer, if or when it ever comes.&nbsp; I still have gaps in my journals, awaiting answers, hoping and praying that one day I will find out the answers I have been looking for.&nbsp; Thanks and many thanks for helping me through a divorce, a death of my son and the birth of my grandson.&nbsp; All of those that are a part of this fantasy of coin collecting, stay with it.&nbsp; One day, you too, will get answers to your questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
