I'm glad I found CCF several years back and have gained a lot of information from it since then. While I haven't posted a lot lately, I will be retiring soon and will have more time to devote to my favorite hobby and expect to be more active again.

As I remember many of us came over from the old CoinWorld Forum when it was discontinued but my memory may be a little hazy. I believe this was shortly after CCF was founded and we all had an invite.

I used to try many of the other coin web sites but there was always something wrong with them. Not sure when and how I found this one but I'm still here.

I joined the forum in Nov 2006. I am grateful to Bobby and Susan for starting this great forum.

I found CCF in the Summer of 2007. I cannot remember what specific search brought me here, but I added the site to my bookmarks. I was pretty burned out from forum posting, so I saw no reason to sign up at that time.

I continued to visit from time to time, reading the older threads and keeping up with some of the more current ones. I finally spoke up 20 December 2007.

Then a year and a half later Bobby found some photos of me cleaning Morgan dollars. He promised to keep them off the internet if I joined the staff.

What did the Morgan's ever do to you to deserve such a fait

I posted a lot in the BBS and Usenet days, but it took a while for me to appreciate Web forums. I started posting after a long break and felt like I had a lot of catching up to do. This got me burned out rather quickly, so I shifted to lurker mode for a few more years.

I first started lurking here after ebay started using Lithium and drove out most of us from Coins & Paper Money / Coins & Currency forum, and after they shut down our private forum devoted to counterfeit & forgery reporting. But then life intervened, and I didn't add a single piece to my collection for 6+ years, and forgot about CCF. After my Dad passed away in May last year I started adding to my collection more extensively & came across CCF because I wanted to learn how to grade accurately. This forum rocks & compared to the other ones out there it is no contest, CCF is flat out the best.

Mind me asking what was the private forum? Was it ran by the bay or by an individual as a hobby?
