The_Cave_Troll Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 09/11/2006 4:18 pm My wife is pregnant and as a result I will be losing my job (as a house husband for our 2 year old, lol) later this fall, so I've been job searching the past few months and I decided to turn my hobby into my profession. I applied to a number of numismatic firms and as of yesterday I have been hired to work in the consignments department at Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas! I'll literally see tens of thousands of coins every year and I am thrilled about the opportunity to improve my grading ability through finally being able to consistantly see tons of graded coins. Plus the folks I interviewed with seemed really positive about the prospects for advancement into other numismatic positions as my skills develop! This is my foot in the door to advancing my numismatic goals and I couldn't be more excited. I will start on October 23, and I just couldn't sit on this any longer and I want to thank the members of this board who have been a great sounding board for me the last couple of years as I started actively trying to learn the ins and outs of coin collecting. Without the knowledge I've gained from you guys I definately wouldn't be doing this now! Unfortunately, I will probably not be around as much after the move, but I'll still make it a point to visit as much as possible. I am definately addicted to this site and I can't imagine just checking out, lol. Edited by The_Cave_Troll 09/11/2006 4:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I wish I could do some kind of job like that (like I am sure most people here do) I am just affraid I would end up owing them money every pay day. I wish you luck and maybe you can share that 10% discount you will be getting (or how ever much it is)with me Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/11/2006 5:31 pm Congratulations on the new job and baby! I have seen them advertise for positions in their emails and thought to myself "I wish!" It is nice to see someone from here get into a position like that. Here's hoping that the new job comes with an employee discount and a pre-tax payroll deduction for all coin purchases ( I know, wishful thinking...) Report this Post to the Staff
