Do you remember your very first numismatic post?

On the PCGS forums 3 years ago , I remember posting something about the grading scale going to 1-100 for PCGS, instead of 1-70. Of course it was tongue in cheek, but it sent the board buzzing.

Mine was around 3 years ago or so on the old PCGS boards and it was questioning the reason why Roosevelt dimes were not designated Full Band just as the Mercury dimes are. Kinda odd that you brought this topic up, I thought it was kinda ironic in some kind of strange way when talk about designating Roosies as full bands was brought back up and now implemented. I'm not sure that I am on the FB bandwagon for Roosies, but my original post did get an incredibly informative response from TomB regarding the history behind the Full Band Roosevelt Society(if I recall the name correctly), some things don't change.

My first and second posts on the PCGS board were in a thread regarding dateless Buffalo nickels and Standing Liberty quarters:

My third post on that board, and the first thread that I personally started, concerned Proof gold:

I think my first post said, MORE FRANKIES FOR ME!

Way to long ago and way to many post to remember that! CHRIS

My first post on the other forums was: " I have some Franklin halves and proof coins in the old original PCGS slabs before they designated FBL and Cameo. Is there any way of getting these reholdered with the FBL and Cameo designations without me having to go through the entire grading process again?" It was answered by Rick Montgomery. It was posted on 8/29/2000.

 

I don't remember my first post on these forums, but it probably wasn't a question. I remember the day these forums went up and it was a bunch of us from PCGS over here when their forums went down.

Just for fun, I found some of the old posts mentioned in this thread. I think I found a Truthteller post that was even older than the one he mentioned!

The post I remember was a post on the Coin Board at PCGS about Ebay Auctions of mine in which the coins were not selling. Wrong place to post that as I found out later.

 

The first post on the Registry forum was a question asking how to get NGC coins into the PCGS Registry. That was on August 18 2001. Not much activity was shown when it was posted. How times change. The reason I asked the question was because at that time many NGC coins were owned which could be entered here along with PCGS coins but I could not do the same over there.

 

Over here a post was made the second day, or maybe it was the first day, of the Forums asking if this place would ever compare to the PCGS site or something in that vain.

Geez, now that Iclugza linked it, I guess I really did give andy007 some information about FB Roosevelts in his very first post. Now I feel old!

Don't think of yourself as old. Think of yourself as a pioneer since now the major services have adopted the idea.

[TomB]

"Pioneer"...hmmmm...still sounds old.

[andy007]

Thanks for the old links Iclugza, it's neat to go back and search those old posts, when the pcgs boards actually had valued information on them instead of the dealer hype and overkill of franklin and kennedy posts by a few fairly new posters that kills the boards variety.

 

And Tom, don't think of it as old, just experienced

I'm not sure if my first post was made in the early days of the current PCGS boards or the last death throws of the old board, but I believe it was a question about smoke and toning.

Oooooof! Smoke and toning! I bet there's a mighty good chance that I was a responder to your first thread, too.

 

Thanks, andy007!
