Value of Coin Talk Membership

I agree with rzage one hundred percent. Learning all the time around here and the folks are great! May I add that we can enjoy and learn from this great forum due to the time and energy that Peter and the moderators put in for us.

I think that was an off colour remark.

The guys and gals on this site are the greatest. You've got some of the most knowledgeable and friendly folks residing in this forum so you folks that are hiding behind the curtain (sorry Peter) come out and introduce yourselves and join the community...

 

I've only been a member for a few months, but I am continually impressed by the courtesy and helpfulness of the Cointalk community.

 

Mr Coin Lover- I remember that post and the 1970 S small date and it was one of the most helpful informative posts I have read on anything. I can't remember who gave all the info, but it's so nice people take the time to explain things they may know like the back of their hand. This site has helped me as well, immensely

 

I feel very sorry now I didn't write down who that member was. I also was directed to a site that had photos of all the San Francisco mint "S" strike variations. Both of these sites I did add to my favorites and they have been very helpful to me.

 

I belive the sites were

www.coppercoins.com
www.lincolncentresource.com

 

I loved reading this thread..
When I first got here, I don't think my intentions were good, but you know what, I think I've made up for it.
I love it here, and would never leave this place, I have lots of fun here, and there are such good people here, although I got off on the wrong foot with a lot of them...Kinda funny, I leave for two months, and I have new friends... LOL

I just wanted to say a quick thank you, for all who have read my posts, replied to my posts, and personally reached out to me...
And to all guests, this place is great, and I don't see how you couldn't like it here...Sign up, and get in on all the discussions

 

I agree with the sentiment shared above. I've learned so much since I dropped into CoinTalk that it's made my hobby more enjoyable. I'm always learning something here. Besides I love to see the photos of all the coins we show. Plus the people are great.

We're geting close to having another group hug.

 

I hope your refering to the long beach show! Cause I'll be handing out big ole' Canadian hugs. Haha jk.
Excited to meet you guys! I've been stressed out lately and am pumped to get away.

 

Snaz, hope you guys have a great time out there.

 

Thanks . . . and I'd like to make an offer

I'm not fond of writing messages that simply say "me too", but, ummm . . . me too, to everything that's said. I learned more in one month here than in my first 10 years of collecting.

And whereas I used to think I knew a few things about coins, now I know enough to know that I hardly know anything!

And my eternal gratitude to whoever it was that told me about the US Mint outlets here in DC, both within walking distance of my work.

And, to that end, I'd like to make an offer (if I don't get inundated) to any "registered" "regular" here.

My offer is that if anyone needs to get anything from the Mint store, I'd happily get it for you at cost (cost+postage) and send it to you. This includes most things that are on the US Mint site.

But also one more item: the current "dollar" coin (e.g. right now Hariisons, starting May 21, Tylers, etc.), and current release quarter (e.g., right now Puerto Rico, and starting May 26, Guam) are also available from the Mint site from a change machine. These coins are mostly AU+/MS (with bag-like marks). So I can also get them for you at face value (plus p&h).

I offer this because I've gotten so much out of CT and the people here, and I'd like to return the favor.

(Update: unfortunately, they do not carry the Lincoln cent mint rolls)

 

sholom: Your offer is just another example of the quality of the people that i have come across here, since coming to cointalk. Likewise, the information one can derive here by just reading the threads are great. That coupled with the reading and reserch i am doing on my own provides me with real world experience to compare to book stuff to. I am rather new to coin collecting. Some here have likely seen me say this already. I am using coin collecting as part of my therapy thru the va medical center. I am trying to deal with a tramatic brain injury(tbi),etc. I signed up here at cointalk to have a place to go and mostly read and occasionally post. I have been doing alot of research and reading( thats on the days that what i read makes sense). This site along with the people and some of the adivce given here(i don't asked about investment stuff--it's not my objective) has done alot to help me with re-developing some my cognitive abilities/skills. At the risk of repeating myself even more, i just want to thank everyone who participates and makes this forum possible. With graditude,larry j pitre

 

Hat's off to you Larry....keep posting, keep learning, keep healing.....

 

thank you, some days are difficult, but my family and god keeps me going!!!and as most veterans i would do it all over again!!!ljp

 

Neither am I fond of hearing messages that simply say, "yes yes yes, arf arf arf." But, ummm...yes yes yes, arf arf arf!

 

That is to say...@#!$, %^&$, &*^(...and a host of other things.....

 

Any "Thank You" around here should go to you. I'm very happy to have you here with us.

 

I brought this back up for a reason. It appears the guests that are here is becoming more and more. I hope they will read this old thread of mine and consider becoming a Coin Talk Member.

 

By all means keep learning
