[QUOTE="Todd Williams, post: 5308505, member: 115645"]Well. That’s it ya’ll. I’d like to reiterate my genuine thanks to Randy and John (messydesk) for the mentoring and photography help. And my genuine thanks to each of you who took the time to advise me on this set. This has been a rewarding experience for me. Learning passable coin photography…much less details about the coins themselves that I was clueless about. Two months ago I came on CT a complete dork with zero understanding of this world. The very first day I posted on this type set, one of you literally pulled over your car and essentially wrote, “STOP….don’t disrespect the time your Grandpa put in to this.” That advice has meant the world to me because it came from good-hearted people who helped me realize there are some things more valuable than money. The past two months have been a crash course for me regarding coins. Clueless otherwise. The last thing I’d want to do is piss off my Grandpa Jim. And I mean it: you folks have channeled him in a way I am sincerely grateful for. I have come to understand that this collection, pending any information unknown to me right now, isn’t worth life changing money such that I’d be willing to trade the heirloom. Accordingly, you folks have helped me understand that money isn’t the only point. And that that’s what coin collecting is too. I hope ya’ll have a Merry Christmas.[/QUOTE]
