It is more..

This forum is more than a collector or two giving some technical data. We should be able to share stories, experiences, anecdotes and generally have some fun with our hobby. If somebody posts an entry stating " I bought a 1901 IHC." Big deal... who cares?? But if the posts was "I got this 1901 IHC blazer at a yard sale for 5 bucks!" adds a little more excitement. If the only thing we want is collector jargon and technical data, heck we can read CoinAge or one of the other coin mags.

SO... if someone has a coin related story, an anecdote, a question we can help them with, fine. Coin collecting is supposed to be fun, not some stuffy-shirt white collar club where the more points you have means the higher up in the air your nose is stuck.

I have a somewhat warped sense of humor and if I can mix that with a little bit of my hobby then I am a happy camper. Judging by recent posts, I am not alone.

Respectfully,
