<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 76451, member: 4336&quot;]I apologize to everyone about my earlier post. Enough of that</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to do an art project for school. I only have 3 more classes to do (including this part project) and then I am doing with 12 grade, going out in the real world. This transition is going to be hard for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve read alot for numismatics. What I&#039;ve read is all relative really, since some people don&#039;t read at all, and others read as much as they can. I&#039;m 17, and I&#039;ve read around 4 books. It&#039;s a good start I guess. I&#039;ve been going to other forums, before this one and have learned alot about coins. All the lingo. Let me tell you about me</p><p><br /></p><p>I am 17, my name is Kevin. I grew up in California, now live in arizona. I have a profound memory, I can remember my first day of kindergarden, and my first days I collected coins. I have gotten nothing but helpful advice here, be it warm, or constructive. I&#039;m also interested in learning multiple languages, french, spanish, japanese especially etc. I am also interested into calculus, and higher math levels. I have Calculus For Dummies, and vector calculus from another author. Before high school, my math was horrible. I&#039;ve learned myself that you can do anything you set your mind to with alot of persistance and determination. In high school, i got all A&#039;s in math and science, and my science grade was for awhile at 112%, the highest grade out of all 6 periods of students. I decided I wanted to be an engineer in astrophysics, or quantum physics, or just a physcist. I have gotten alot of support from my grandpa who is an investor/engineer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d also love to work in a coin store oneday. But for now, I plan to move to japan and live there for several years. I am learning japanese. I also got an award for the best improved grades from the Rotary Club.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ever since I was 6 I&#039;ve become interested in numismatics. I got my first gold coin around 9, and since then I&#039;ve collecte gold coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I made this thread to tell some members here more about me, and that I needed help on this art project. Speedy has provided me with a great link to modern coin making, at the PCGS website. I will go there myself and try to find more help info. Is the PCGS price guide accurate?</p><p><br /></p><p>I realise I could just figure out everything by myself, but I like to make it interesting. I&#039;ve always had a thing with welcomign new members and helping out people who don&#039;t know as much as me in numismatics. So please, if any ofyou have any questions, I will try to answer them the best I can, I would be more than happy to</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone would mind, I would love to have a link on ancient coins, I do already have a few books on how counterfeits are made (spark erosion, cast methods etc) and the screwpress which was used to make coins in the early 1800&#039;s in the united states. Spanish gold was also used as currency until 1857 in the US.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
