<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 2521049, member: 77226&quot;]Hi all,</p><p>I&#039;ve been reading these boards as a guest and uncommenting member for several years. So... Hi!</p><p><br /></p><p>About my user name: After many (several many) beers one night, I thought the name I&#039;d chosen was slightly funny. Later I decided it was terrible and tried to re-register under a different username and was promptly banned according to the rules. Anyway... I guess I&#039;m back and stuck with this one. I regularly post on some other boards. I really enjoy the light-hearted banter here and decided it was time to jump in.</p><p><br /></p><p>COINS! - I&#039;ve been collecting ancients for only three years or so... but it&#039;s been an obsessive three years. I&#039;ve learned just enough to be dangerous but not enough that I&#039;m spending big dollars. We&#039;ve all been told to find a focus but I&#039;m just not there yet. I collect about everything. I&#039;m new enough to the hobby that anything that catches my eye is another opportunity for learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been mostly snapping up LBRs, Alexandrian Tetradrachms, and some earlier silver and bronze. I follow Doug&#039;s philosophy that a coin being interesting or loved is independent of cost or condition (a complement!). Many of my favorite coins are too ugly to post... like rare mopeds on a Harley forum... but that&#039;s the way I like it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Me: 37, soon to be first-time dad, upper-Midwest, retired crazy man (not retired like not working but retired like I&#039;ve hung up my party animal days), cat dad... hmm that&#039;s about it...</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin Photos: Coin photograph is my weakness. I have 600ish coins but have made no serious attempt to photograph them.. this gives me depression. I love photography, I take tons of photos, I love coins... but all I have is bad iPhone photos of my coins. So... If you ask me to post them, that&#039;s what you&#039;ll get for now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that&#039;s my intro, hi all!</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like I know (in a coin board sense) most of you a bit due to reading your threads for the last few years... and hope to contribute a bit soon!</p><p><br /></p><p>Josh[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
