<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fellowcollector, post: 229929, member: 2120&quot;]I&#039;m am sorry to say that I don&#039;t have anyone in my family or friends to share my interest in the coin collecting hobby. So my hobby has been a &#039;unspoken secret&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I started to save coins it was in the 1980&#039;s. The very first coin I found interesting was a Lincoln wheatie,&nbsp; at the time I didn&#039;t know they were referred&nbsp; to in this term.&nbsp; And I did find them different from the other pennies (cents) which I was accustom to seeing (memorials). For some reason unbeknowest to me (at the time) I thought I hit the &#039;jackpot&#039; so ever time I found one I saved it (which wasn&#039;t very often) I guess this was why they interest me. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&nbsp; didn&#039;t &#039;come out&#039; of my &#039;secret closet&#039; until the States Quarter Program in 1999. Since then I have been researching coins over the net and came across several coin forums as well as other US coins not in current circulation. I never knew of the Trade Dollar, Morgan Dollar, Liberty&#039;s, Flying Eagle&#039;s, Gold coins, etc existed. I am still in the &#039;learning stage&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have joined coin forum&#039;s to expand my limited knowledge and share that&nbsp; knowledge to others.</p><p>I did meet a&nbsp; member who I became &#039;attached&#039; to on a forum who lives very far from me ( who will remains &#039;nameless&#039; ) a collector of US coins. US coins that have come across (nameless&#039;) way are from few family members living and working in the US or from&nbsp; a contest, trades and such. When&nbsp; family members &#039;go back for a visit&#039; (I don&#039;t think very often) they bring coins to add&nbsp; to this collection.&nbsp; At this rate I don&#039;t think (nameless) will be able to complete a set type.&nbsp; So I have made it my personal duty--- for 2007,&nbsp; to help in any way I can. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not &#039;well off&#039;&nbsp; by any means and my living expenses are paid on a month to month basis, besides all that it gives me great pleasure and peace within to share some of our US coinage to someone&nbsp; from another country. I asked&nbsp; (nameless) to send me a list of the US coin’s already&nbsp; own,&nbsp; so I can see what is still needed to help with completing a type set. This way instead of a few US coins at least one will be a complete up-to-date set.&nbsp; In return I request nothing. I am sure this person will be thrilled and speechless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>fc[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
