collect4fun Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 04/20/2007 11:13 am I have traded, bought & sold coins with many great people here on the forum. A lot of my pleasure of coin collecting is wondering about the history of where the coin has been. In doing trades with people from different States & Countries I had a thought as to help identify where the coin has been. I am going to start asking people to send along with the coin either a picture or a post card of the area in which they live. If they can do this great, if not, nothing lost. I just think it would be an interesting thing to do. Report this Post to the Staff

Topher Pillar of the Community Canada 965 Posts	Posted 04/20/2007 12:20 pm monster - to you it may be boring, but to someone else, it's not. For example, I grew up in PA dutch country, and I don't find it very exciting, yet how many of you have ever seen the "Shoe House" in Hallam (or York), PA? How many of you are used to seeing the Amish horse and buggies going along the roadside regularly? To me, they're nothing special, but to others, it's quite different. Besides that, what fun is coin collecting if you don't know anything about what you're collecting, or where it's from, or why they chose that design, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 04/20/2007 2:09 pm Interesting reply Topher. On my last trip to see the folks my fiance noticed the yellow horse and buggy sign for the first time on a small curvy road. I grew up near Reading/Kutztown. My parents live very close to Kutztown Pa. I think I will remove the actual town name to keep anyone from thinking that I am trying to make a joke. I agree also, in that a postcard from the area would be really cool. But a digital picture that you can email would work also. You can always print it out and write on it and keep it with the coin...

collect4fun Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 12:51 am longnine009 that is pretty neat. Are you a member of that club? Report this Post to the Staff
longnine009 Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 1:57 pm No I'm not a member. After I bought that token I was wondering why the arrowhead was pointing down so I snailed mailed the club asking them. The club Treasurer sent me back a letter explaining that there was a natural landmark on a hillside of an arrowhead and send me that postcard dated 1910. Report this Post to the Staff
