Welcome back. I was also gone for a long time: 25 years or so.

That is the best introduction I have seen on the forum so far! Welcome back to the hobby! I am so sorry to hear about your 1881 cent. Who steals coins from a kids room? The hobby has changed a lot, and this is the best place to find answers about all those changes. :)

to the forum! And if you are looking for good advice and resources (and dissenting opinions too) on pretty much any aspect of coin collecting this is the place to start!

Welcome back.

I took a 20 year break from the hobby as well.

You're going to do just fine here.

Welcome back! I was a victim of a thief, of my own blood, there's nothing lower than a thief of this sort. I lost most all of my guns, and countless priceless baseball memorabilia. At the time of this theft, my coin collection was rather small, and located somewhere safe. Later in life I rekindled my coin collection, only to have to sell a bulk of my collection, to pay my taxes. Life is full of hurdles, live, learn & grow.

I really enjoyed your story.
