Where Are You From? A Place To Introduce Yourself

Hi there!! I'm from Santa Barbara California #128075;#127996;#128075;#127996;#128075;#127996;#128587;#127996;#8205;#9792;#65039;

I'm from Kentucky

Hay, My name is Ryan Ibrahim, from Indonesia.
.
After my father passed away, he apparently had antique coins from several countries that you might be interested in.
For example :
Dutch East Indies 1/2 cent coin in 1945.
1 franc in 1974.
2 drachmi (greek) in 1954.
Medio Balboa (panama) in 1979.
10 cents Malaysia in 1973.
etc.
.
what do you think?

I am from northeastern ill-annoy. Yes that is the correct new spelling of the state! My collecting focus is Franklin half dollars.

I am from small town Matthews, Missouri, United States.

I am from Lismore in Australia. The name Lismore comes from Gaelic and means "big garden" and Lismore was a big garden before white settlement.. It was once like a large English country estate under indigenous management but no longer.

I have inherited my mother's coin collection which she mostly gathered when she kept the loose change from her trips to many countries. There are about 1,000 coins and all are in a rather battered condition with a great deal of patina.

There are a few uncirculated coins and even those have been allowed to handled and were thrown into a box with all the other coins. Mother was clearly a collector who was more interested in having mementos of her travels and much less interested in preserving the value.of the coins.

SAP has been good to me letting me know in great detail that the 1817 Turkish 1/4 Altina coin that is in the collection and potentially worth thousands is actually just a fake lucky charm. Most amusing.

My name is Jim, and I am from San Diego, CA. I started collecting Indian Head and Wheat Cents when I was 10. A few years ago, I started a Large Cent album. My focus now is on collecting most of the Flying Eagle varieties. I look forward to other members increasing my knowledge about certain coins.
