Happy Birthday, RCC!
Yes, it was on August 22, 1994, 13 years ago today, that RCC
officially came into existence: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...8f7f6767d3d9ca If it wraps, http://tinyurl.com/3azsed If you Google the early years, you may recognize some of the names. Some, like me who didn't know anything about Usenet or newsgroups, didn't show up for years. For me, it's been a great adventure, and I hope to continue for many more years. Happy Birthday to us. Happy Birthday to us. Happy Birthday, dear RCC. Happy Birthday to us. :-) Jerry |

In seven more years, we should issue some kind of collectible token commemorating the 20th anniversary! I suggest something cool. Like a Dragon! :-) If you Google the early years, you may recognize some of the names. Some, like me who didn't know anything about Usenet or newsgroups, didn't show up for years. For me, it's been a great adventure, and I hope to continue for many more years. While my USENET presence goes back to 1988, I didn't stumble into RCC until early 1995 - and even then, I didn't read it regularly until much later. Happy birthday, all. We're finally teenagers! Hmmm... That does explain some of the posts here... -- Jim Seymour |

Like a Dragon! :-) Something showing coin images (obverse and/or reverse) from several US and World coins would be nice, if it can be produced legally. I bought the 3" US Mint 200th Anniversary medal because I thought it was cool with the 15 coin designs on the reverse. It's the only medal I've bought other than the 1st spouse ones. |

Back in the good old days when I started collecting... The newspapers have nothing but ads. Alan Herbert warning people not to buy altered coins.... .... and to think that there was a time before eBay. Every two years, we get the flurry of new posters who want our votes for ANA Board. But, really, when you get right down to it, it has to be the flamewars: "Coin X is all about feature A." "Actually, coin X lacks feature A." "You flametarding postlicker! I killfiled you a hundred times and still I read your posts! You ruin the hobby!" Oh, well, there are the swaps, the holiday exchanges, the poster to poster cool deals, and of course, the RCC Tokens, Last time I was at a coin show without my RCC Name Badge, someone asked my why I wasn't wearing it. |
