<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 1572292, member: 42034&quot;]Thanks very much.&nbsp; A year ago I joined another numismatic BBS but I could never post with pix as I think they had a rule that one had to have some # of posts before getting the priviledge of having pix.&nbsp; Since I couldn&#039;t post with pix I never posted.</p><p><br /></p><p>This seems like a good group with lots of comments.&nbsp; I began collecting back in the early 70&#039;s when just a kid.&nbsp; I used to nail these wooden signs to telephone poles advertising to buy old coins near Philadelphia.&nbsp; People would call and I&#039;d bicycle out to their houses (too young to drive) with a bunch of money.&nbsp; They&#039;d show me their coins and I&#039;d make an offer &amp; sometimes buy them.&nbsp; Such was life in the 1970&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow a large fraction of the people calling me used to have foreign coins: everything from junk to thalers from the 1600&#039;s.&nbsp; Thus I got used to foreign coin types early on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
