Congrats to Hoot, new editor of "The Portico"

[CarlWohlforth]

I just read a note in the latest "Portico", the mouthpiece of the Full Step Nickel Club, that Mark Hooten has offered to take on editing that periodical. Congrats to a dedicated Jefferson nickel collector!

Mark -

I want to add my congratulations to Carl's. Having just read your latest article in CW I can't imagine a person more suited to this post. You seem to have a boundless energy and your willingness to share your talents is most appreciated!

You mean people actually collect this pocket change as long as it has full steps! What is this world coming to?

 

And congrats Mark!

[EVillageProwler]

The guy foregoes an NBB-style field trip to handle this nonsense... What a maroon!!!

 

Congrats, I guess...

Cool. Congratulations.

[Hoot]

Thanks to all of you! Carl, I can hardly believe that you read that note! Very kind.

 

Roger - I just love the fact that you have either (1) subscribed to Coin Values so that you get the beginner's section at the end that is not included with the freebie that comes out with CW; or (2) bother to pick it up off the newsstand; or (3) know about a Coin World article that I was not informed of.

 

Greg - nickel collectors are like darkside collectors, collecting all kinds of nonsense that has a value of no more than 5 cents (and dropping).

 

EVP - Who said no NBB?

 

cladking - I look forward to your contributions to future editions of the Portico!

Congrats Hoot. Way to go!!!!

[TomB]

Way to go, Hoot! Why am I not surprised you can do this well? After all, anyone who can ride a horse through the prairie while typing on a wireless laptop can truly multitask!

[Bruceswar]

nice post tom... funny.... Congrats hoot.. I will have to check it out...

You only forgot the freezing cold and the snowstorm with wolves nipping at my heels!

 

Thanks DaveTomBruce!

 

BTW, RWW - I looked at CW online and found that they printed an article of mine in the Beginner's Workshop that appeared in Coin Values a couple of months back! Just nobody told me! It's a little funny at times to read the edited versions (which they all are). This one is slightly different than the CV article!

Mark -

I'm actually far to cheap to buy or subscribe to Coin Values. If it wasn't part of CW I'd never know that it exists!

 

Also, if not for your name in the byline I'd have blown right by the article. See, brand recognition is a pretty powerful thing. Hoot

I resemble that remark

 

Congrats Hoot !!

 

Now just don't tell me that you'll have even less time to post here with the rest of us rejects from the funny farm

I almost like CV better than CW!

Ha! I always knew that goofy name Hooten would be worth something!

Congrats!!!!

 

Thanks Chris! When will you also be submitting articles, oh numismatic bibliophile?

Less time around here? Whaddaya crazy? I simply won't give you guys that kind of a break, even though you need it!

 

Besides, I have to keep hanging around the World Coins forum to learn how to become a real collector.

Congrats Hoot! It couldn't happen to a nicer person.

 

Ok now tell the newb what CW and CV is please.

Thanks!

 

Ok now tell the newb what CW and CV is please.

 

Sorry 'bout that Melanie! CW = Coin World, and CV = Coin Values. You may like those or Numismatic News, or Coins, or CoinAge. All fun periodicals. CW and NN come weekly, the others monthly.

Well I have never heard of "The Portico".........but Hoot is good people so congrats to you big guy

[dena]

Congrats!

[Hoot]

Thank you Krypto! The Portico is the publication of the Jefferson Full Step Nickel Club. Membership is always accepted (even from a Morgan guy)!

 

Thank you Dena! Kind of you to stop by!

 

Hoot

[kryptonitecomics]

You mean their is a club out their that would actually accept me? Wow.......I have really elevated my position in life

 

I don't think I own any FS nickels...........

[Hoot]

I don't think I own any FS nickels...........

 

One of the sincere hopes of Darrell Crane (the pres of the club), myself and others is to extend the club membership to Jeff nickel collectors in the broadest sense, not just FS collectors. Hopefully we can improve understanding and discovery of the series and not focus solely on the tiny devices of the front, lower porch of Monticello.

 

We'd take ya in a heartbeat!

 

Hoot

[kryptonitecomics]

Very cool.....I have some decent Slabbed Nickels.....even a pedigree or two

Congrats Hoot!

Hey Hoot,

 

Sorry I’m late to the party, but I’ve been real busy at work lately. Of course, you have my congratulations on your latest endeavor, and I know you will do a great job, but I want to know when you’re going to stop fooling around and write your first book about nickels!

 

Oh, and I expect an autographed copy when you do!

 

John

[Hoot]

Thanks Thingie! So, what's with the photo in your sig line? Who, when, where, why?

 

I want to know when you’re going to stop fooling around and write your first book about nickels!

 

Soon. And you'll be on my list for people who pay double due to your incessant purchase of all the great nickels on the market. jom's right up there too.

 

Hoot

 

p.s. Glad to see you come around, John. Work seems to be taking nearly everyone away. For the same reason, I don't know when the last time was I made an original post.

Being "late to the party", this is the same for me Hoot. Seems like I've just been too busy with the other small things in life, like making a living, staying healthy (or trying), getting started on any one of about ten different projects I've yet to take the first step on.

 

Anyway, I can't think of anyone else better suited for the job! Congratulations (hand shakes, pats on the back, champagne and cigars for everyone!) on you're new position!

[jom]

Congrads Hoot! Sorry about the lateness also. Same problem: Work.

 

And if you ever get around to I want an autographed copy too...unless the book is about Jeffersons. Bah! Buffalos only!
