I am so glad that I joined CoinTalk! I am really enjoying the discussions. I am naturally an education oriented person and I love learning more about this hobby that I love. I enjoy spending time on here with others who love it also. I enjoy helping others. There is such a variety of coins out there and there are alot of new collectors who have really great questions. Even more than that, I enjoy the folks who have some "coin" of one type or another that they acquired somehow and I really love helping solve their mysteries. The other reason I love CoinTalk is the contests. I have to brag on this point a bit. A while back this post came across my screen http://www.cointalk.com/t115732/ and lucky for me I took on the challenge and responded. This morning I recieved an e-mail from Paul Rasmussen, known on CT as gulfofmex, informing me that I had won their contest! I am beside myself with winning this contest! Thanks Paul! Anyhow, to whoever reads this, I just wanted to toot our own collective horn here at CoinTalk and say, that for me, this is an awesome place to be!
