Hey... new to the group
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. Mysch |

The first 4 shows mentioned below are sponsored by clubs based in the host cities. Other clubs are closer to you (Denver and South Suburban, to name two). Info about these and other clubs in the area will be available at some or all of these shows. We're about to enter the part of the year with the most shows in our area. Saturday, March 20 9-4, Pueblo, Best Western Townhouse on Santa Fe Saturday, March 27 9-6, Ft. Collins, Lincoln Center (usually a great show!) Saturday, April 10 9-4, Longmont, Elks Lodge Saturday, May 8 9-4, Cheyenne, WY Hitching Post Inn & Conference Center Friday, May 21 through Sunday, May 23 Denver Coin & Stamp Expo, National Western (stock show) Complex - the largest regularly held show in the state if not the entire Rocky Mountain region I'll have a table at the Ft. Collins and Denver shows and maybe the Pueblo show. Hope to meet you (and any other r.c.c folks reading this) at one of them. -- Chuck D'Ambra web site address: http://www.telesphere.com Buying and selling coins over the Internet since 1993. |

Roscoe,
A pleasant surprise to hear from you given all of the catching up you must be doing. So many people expressed concern for you, sent you get well/hurry back wishes on RCC that it impressed me as being a group of folks who really do take the time to get to know one another. I'm about 9 miles or so east of the Mint and about 45 minutes by car (don't know how many miles) from Colorado Springs and the ANA. I plan on taking a trip out there some Saturday to see what their museum holds. Last time I had that trip planned, they were remodelling. Should be interesting, methinks. Unfortunately, I don't have the room to accommodate guests (and I wouldn't ever offer my cooking to another human being grimace) but I can sure tell you about Colorado. I've been here for 7 years and have travelled to many places here. It's an amazingly beautiful state! I haven't been able to manage scanning coins, yet. My flatbed is a great scanner for pics but the coins don't show up. Light too bright, I'd guess? One of my prized possessions is an 1889 S Morgan. Mostly sentimental value, of course. It's the coin that got me started in collecting, in a round-about way. They don't make US coins like that anymore with the exception of the American Silver Eagle. Our moderns are generally filled with history, though, which is fun to learn about. Thank you for the welcome, Roscoe. I wish you a speedy and full recovery. Mysch "Roscoe" wrote in message ...
