I always thought straight graded PO-1's were interesting coin to find or have graded.  To much or to little meat on that bone!..  It's gotta be just about right.  You guys know if there's a "Post You're PO-1's" thread here?  I'll check and see if I can find one.

Always interesting to ask yourself if they have actually been floating around out there for 58 years.   Most likely put back into circulation (spent) by someone who didn't know what they had.  In any case...CONGRATS!!

With all the positive welcome feedback's from you guys and see veteran in your avatar blocks, I know I'm in the right place.

Then I looked closer and realized it's not military, it's seasoned veteran on this forum.  Oh well, still glad to be here!

Don't know why that happened again, sorry.

I honestly don't know but I can only surmise your initial post set off a flurry of exchanges that may have overwhelmed Moderation's ability to process.  You're in, welcome back! 

So that's why the back of my computer was smoking!!

I can't believe it, I'm back.  What's that about?  Newbie's only get a certain amount of posts?

You won't.  We're a pretty chill bunch most of the time, and you're already fitting in with us well.  I think you'll be a valued member here for a long time.

Thanks!  I don't want any trouble from your guys!!  I don't want to get chewed me up and spit me out!! 

EDIT: HELP!  I'm at the bottom of this thread and there's nowhere to post an entry.

Hey guys-  Is there a reason I can't post? I'm logged in but there's no place at the bottom of my threads to post an entry.  Am I doing something wrong?

This is crazy!  I just received this.....

I'm a native New Yorker and it's time for me to come out of the closet......I'm a total, 100% snow wuss.  I will go to great lengths not to have to drive in snow at all.  It scares the c*ap out of me!!! Thankfully, I work from home, so it's not a huge problem.  However, walking in it....that's a whole different story.  I've gone on many a snowy trek through wooded areas I could walk to in search of owls in the winter (I'm also a bird nut along with being a coin nut).

I thought just the opposite when I saw Canada and Finger Lakes in your signature block.  The Finger Lakes are beautiful up there!

I'm looking at your avatar, I can't make it out.  What I'm I looking at?

You can post wherever you like based on your inquiry or what you'd like to say.  It sounds like you're not a newbie to collecting, but this Newbie forum is a nice place to hang out.....you meet new arrivals here and can help new collectors by sharing your knowledge and answering their questions.  I enjoy doing both myself.  The US, World and Ancient Coins forum is also good.  You'll get the feel of where the best place for your posts are as you hang out more and interact with us.  It's one of those things that you learn by doing.  That's how it was for me, anyway.

Yes, that helps a lot. Thanks for clarifying that.  I just don't want to get in trouble for posting the wrong thing in the wrong forum.

I recently moved out of Philadelphia myself and headed back south. Looks like you have snow coming, so it’s good you have a new forum to keep you occupied 😂

Yes, and the people panic down here when the wind blows hard!! 

So will most of my post be in the US, World, and Ancient Coins forum?

What part of the county is home TJ?

Maryland at the moment but I'm from N.Y.

Will do!  Thanks Bob.  Pictures or it never happened, right? 

Thanks very much Mohawk!  Appreciate that. 

Thanks for the welcome gents!

The Neophyte Numismatist/Mohank-  Been collection since I was a kid with a paper route.   I'm not a dealer, trader, grader or investor, just a hobbyist. 

I guess my category of interest would be considered American classic coins.  I got hooked on completing and upgrading sets years ago.  Plus a type set, no gold.     Filling holes in Whitman's and Dansco's.  I may not fit into this forum very well. I've been known to break coins out and fill holes with them.   Especially, the key dates...  Mostly for authentication.  Also, straight grades, no cleaned, damaged or detailed coins........if I can help it.     

I'm still learning how to manipulate thru this forum.  I'm not even sure if I'm in the right thread for this! 

Thanks again for the welcome guys!  Glad to be here.

.......just checking in to say hello.
