Hello,

I am a new member. I have been reading the posts for about a week now and
it is very informative!! First, I should tell you what I collect. I
collect all denominations in the US. From Half cent to $20 gold. My
collection is expanding and have been collecting since about 1994 or 1995.
By the way I am 23 years old. I mostly collect Uncirculated specimens of
coins. So far, the oldest UNC I have is a 1857 Flying Eagle cent and
followed by an UNC 1858 Half Dollar. Other than that, I have a complete
set
of Jefferson Nickels including the two special mint set specimens from the
1994 and 1997 coin and currency sets. My Lincolns are nearly complete
from
1920 to present in MS except for a few dates and mint marks.

Roosevelts dimes and Kennedys are missing a few.

I have complete sets of Eisenhowers, SBA and Sacs and the statehood
quarters
including all the silvers and clad proofs!

And I have countless other coins that I don't want to bore you with.

I too was at the Baltimore show on Saturday and managed to purchase 6
lincolns for my collection. I got the new pattern book signed by Q. David
Bowers and I got my picture taken with him. (Picture was taken by the
President of Whitman Publishing.)

The picture can be seen here if you're interested:
http://www.geocities.com/ellwynx/Mvc-010f.jpg

It was my first show and I plan to attend more!! Where is the next ANA
Convention held for 2004?

Then, I was at the whitman table where I got my Book singed by Bowers and
the woman put a little yellow sticker on me with a number. She said that
if
I find someone else with my number on their shirt then I would take that
person back to the table and we would get a prize. Well, I said sure and
I
went back to looking for coins. Half an hour had passed and finally
someone
came up to me and said that a little girl in red had my number and she was
by the BEP table. So, I put coin collecting aside to find her....To make
a
long story short.....IT was a wild goose chase!!! Perhaps I was tricked??

I did get some pictures of the 1913 Liberty Head Nickels but not good
ones.
I got a pic of the 1804 dollar and the sheet of $100,000 bills.

I had a really good time and I can't wait to go again!!

Fred

By the way, if anyone has extra lincoln cents to sell from the 1930's I
would be interested(in MS RD condition)

And is there anyone here from the NEW JERSEY area??

Hey Fred,

Even though you're just 23, you sound like one of us old time collectors.
I'm sure you'll enjoy RCC.

Welcome,

Michael R

That wizard behind you with the pointed skull cap that concides perfectly with
the pointed cranium, is our man Reid G.. He posts here alot under various names
about things numismatic, but would you believe hadn't heard of QDB until a year
or so ago? Thinks he's a pretty informative writer though........LOL!

And is there anyone here from the NEW JERSEY area??

Only the fortunate few. What part of Jersey?

Always here for my fellow syngraphist or oenophile.

Whoa! Now there is a picture to keep a lifetime. QDB is the man! You
just need to do a little photo manipulation to erase out that hoaky
looking wizard in the background who I hope was hired to look like
that.* (Aside to Chrysta: Is that who you bought your wizard coin
from?)

Anyway, welcome to the combination madhouse and repository of
knowledge that we lovingly call rcc.

*Probably more wealth in that room than resides in Ft Knox and they
couldn't find someone who really looked like a wizard and not like a
department store Santa in need of a trim?

Hee hee! He looks thrilled to death (no offense). I really wanted to go
Friday to hear his Numismatic Theater presentation, but couldn't make it.


It was my first show and I plan to attend more!! Where is the next ANA
Convention held for 2004?

I think the next summer one is in Pittsburgh. I will make the trip if at
all possible, even though it will be quite a hike.

For some reason my newsreader cut off the part about being from
Jersey...I am! What part are you from?

Well, yes and no. I actually bought the coin from a veddy proper British
chappie at the British Mint booth. )

Kevin (a LOTR freak like me) made lots of comments about Harry Potter and
the like.

Hey, Yes I do have two classic commems. They are the Washington Carver 1952
and the 1935 S San Diego slabbed MS63 by PCGS in the first generation
holder(I hate when it spins around in there!!!!) It is also a very nice
looking coin!

It's actually a funny sort of events surrounding the picture with QDB. He
was busy on his cell phone (which it appeared to me that he didn't know how
to work it) and I pulled him away to personalize the new Patterns book for
me. I then asked him if he would have his picture taken with me and he said
sure. He actually started out with a smile but the woman couldn't figure
out how to work it. He said, "Hurry now, I can only hold this pose for 30
minutes" and then the camera went off.

What could I say??? "Mr. Bowers, I know you're a busy man... but could we
get another with a smile!??

And I am from the Cumberland Couty Area. I am originally from Camden County
but moved here almost a year ago.

Get outta here! Me too, on both counts! Grew up in Gloucester Twp and
live in beautiful scenic historic Bridgeton. Small world, eh?
