    Today I had a dental appt up at Ft. Meade, VA Medical Center just outside of Sturgis and in between x-rays and my other yearly dental proceedings I was chatting with the x-ray tech and found out he was quite the gold coin enthusiast and had been coin/medal collecting for over 40 years. We talked for about an hour or so and quickly realized this fellow had quite an impressive collection. His key pieces vary from three Turban Head $10's and several other early 1/2 Eagles thru Modern Eagles.

    I provided the link to this site, and he's a regular lurker on rec.collecting.coins. This weekend we're planning on meeting for coffee (Saturday) and talk coins. Maybe I'll get a referral to this site :D

    Take Care

    That's awesome Bone! I wish I could meet anybody who was interested in coins just walking around doing my normal daily thing... We'll welcome him to the forum for sure.

    Ran into town this afternoon and either missed (Chet) or he never showed. I did call and leave a message on his answering machine that I'd missed him, alas...

    I do have a couple of gold coins, but I can get SO much more silver and copper for the same price.:D

    Say Ben, you may want to check and see if all your gold fillings are still in place!:whistle:
