BOTH are CERTAINLY nicer than people on automotive and model railroad forums Don't kid yourself, there are just as many not-so-nice here, but thankfully the admin staff here do a great job of shutting it down real quick. I came to this forum to research a coin I found many years ago, and stuck around (and became a collector) 99% due to this community. Haven't looked back since.  |

I am also a member three car clubs. Seen infighting empire builders here as well- I always keep out of it. One of the members - a tiny older Japanese lady owns a rather fast Porsche, and "** Man, on the freeways, is she hard to catch!" (true !)  ** Beach Boys. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 55 sub forums here in the CCF, and so there is plenty of numismatic scope in which to discuss things. |

My boyfriend is DARN lucky he found me...
;-)
I actually have at least SOME interest in his key and lock obsession! He tries to teach me how locks work, with their pins and keyways and cuts and stuff, and I try to teach him about useless stuff like... well... just about EVERYTHING!
And we are BOTH into cars which is also strange and unusual. Instead of yelling at him if he steps on the gas and teaches a lesson to some hot-shot on the highway, I know exactly what he will do before he does it. We are both frustrated racers. He at least, at one point in his yooot, drove on an actual race track!
I feel bad for all the husbands and boyfriends out there with ladies who just poo-poo their hobbies. It's better than them sitting with "the boys" at some bar all night...
And it sounds like I still have to keep my guard up when dealing with some members here? One thing I have learned in all my years on forums is DO NOT TYPE/POST WHEN MY TEMPER IS FLARING. Type... THEN delete........ type again...... delete....... fume.......

If I didn't think I'd get banned, I'd FILL my posts with smiles and funny pictures! I have an entire web page full of them that I use on a model RR forum!

Great intro (even if it took you a decade to write)  Quote:
Of course, as usual, almost everything that interests me is top-dollar (sigh)... I stay away from the paper money section as much as possible so as not to get depressed... I am a sucker for a good engraving! I hear ya! but - you know world currency is pretty reasonably priced. I've heard this is especially the case in the USA where most collectors don't give it a 2nd thought. I've seen some American collectors post some beauties that they got for next to nothing at their LCS. I branched into it 2 years ago (about the time I joined CCF) & haven't looked back. & BTW we play nice over there on that forum... |

And you might find there are ways to create an impressive collection without spending the big bucks. I'm a fan of inexpensive stocks and bonds (you knew that) as well as souvenir cards... http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/gallery.htmlEdited by GregAlex
