Greetings to everyone! I'm another lurker-for-months who has enjoyed
reading the postings here. Since this topic is current, I thought I'd chime
in.

I live in Aurora, Colorado, near the Denver Mint and not too far from the
ANA. I've been collecting mainly circulated pocket change and coins gleaned
from bank rolls for about 20 years. I started collecting not even realizing
that groups (clubs or such online offerings as RCC) existed.

My collection includes:
All the modern denominations with Ikes and Kennedys being my favorites.
Mint and Proof sets.
Silver Eagles - what a beautiful coin!

I've asked a couple of questions here and gotten good replies. The postings
are thoughtful and responses are informed. I'm learning a lot from all of
you on such topics as bidding on eBay, cleaned coins, proper storage *sigh*
and other educational necessities. I'm working on learning to grade in
order to upgrade some of the collection.

Are there other folks here from my neck o' the high plains? If so, I'd
enjoy hearing from you. I'd like to know about shows, clubs, and such in
the area.

Welcome to the group Mysch.
just how far are you from the Denver Mint and the ANA? and can you
cook? I know how to most RCC'ers plain on spending their next
vacation now. ;-) You do have an extra room don't you? As
far as learning how to grade, I would join the ANA. they have a lot
of information to help you along your way. good luck and how bout
some pictures? Been a few years that I have seen that area, and of
some of your coins also. It appears that my and your collection
taste are very close,
Roscoe
