Glad to be a new member. This site looks to be well put together! Hopefully, it will help me get my comments to the right places....

Been collecting coins for about 65 years. My uncle drove a milk wagon (sometimes with a real horse) and let me look through his change for old silver. Not long after that, my father came home with a roll of Walking Liberty half dollars; Someone had made a payment with rolled Liberty S Mint Marks.

Needless to say, I've been fascinated with coins ever since.

Thanks for the greetings!

My collecting interests are primarily old silver. Of particular interest to me are Walking Liberty half dollars and old European "Thalers" (silver dollars).

Currently I've been researching errors related to the Walking Liberty and plan on posting in regards to that topic.

Interesting. My father drove a milk wagon, always with the same horse. It knew the milk route through it's section of Ottawa. I "helped" on occasion. I can remember the large ice-cream container cooled with dry-ice (solidified carbon dioxide). There was a tether (metal weight with a rope) to attach to the horse's back ankle so it wouldn't wander away if the milkman would be out of the wagon for awhile. About 70-75 years ago....
