<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuldFartte, post: 5403641, member: 1869&quot;]I&#039;m an Auld Fartte named Tom. I&#039;m 71, widowed (she passed 6 1/2 years ago after 42 years married, 45 years together) We met when she was 16, I was 20. I&#039;m a Viet Nam vet, and (I know this might tick off some of you) I&#039;m a Social Democrat who believes in helping people - ALL people in this great country of ours.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been collecting coins off and on since I was 8 or 9 years old, starting (like so many others) with Lincoln pennies. I currently have working collections of a US Type Set 1793 through 1964, US Large Cents (middle dates are my current US focus), US Half Cents, British Victorian Type Set, some Canadian coinage, and other world coins My current Ancients focus is Byzantine bronzes. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a bunch of Roman silvers I inherited from my late wife, who inherited them from her late mother, who inherited them from her late father, who was more of a hoarder than a collector. And I know absolutely nothing about the Roman coins. I will probably sell them at some point. </p><p><br /></p><p>The vast majority of my coins are raw. I have purchased very few slabbed coins. I have absolutely no CAC stickers. I believe CAC is a gimmick (NOT trying to upset or knock anyone, it&#039;s just my humble opinion). </p><p><br /></p><p>Other hobbies include a relatively small collection of handmade custom knives, stainless steel handguns (mostly Rugers), target shooting, Southwestern art, and some hiking. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that&#039;s me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
