HI New Here

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the forum! I think you'll find an enlightened and friendly bunch here, for certain. I'm currently more friendly than enlightened, but I figure that will even out with time.

Personally, I love looking at photos of coins, so show us what you've got!

Regards,
~neuron

Welcome to our forum! We love to look at pictures and are always interested in learning something new, so I'm looking forward to your posts. Make yourself at home.

I thank you for your kind words.

My main passion besides photography is error coins. I am into major mint errors. I have a type set (all one date) of different types of errors (some 40+ coins)....but I still need a few like a dated foldover strike and a 6 cent piece and of course whatever else comes along.

Now we get to the Bisons. Yes there are a lot of minor errors on the Bisons. For fun, and hopefully profit, I have decide to seek out as many of the "cool" varieties/ errors in this single issue Bison, a very popular and beautifull coin. I have purchased several D "Speared Bisons" certified and raw. I have purchased the P "Speard Bison", another very nice variety. I also bought, but have not received 2 of the Detached leg Bisons.

I have bought tens of thousands of Bisons from a variety of sources to search for varieties. I have found about 15 varieties myself. Yes these are die cracks,scratches, gouges, die fills, excessive die polishing, etc. I am only interested in the varieties with excellent "eye appeal" My 9 year old daughter has made her firstt two error finds on a Bison, very cool.

I guess what I'm trying to say is yes I will be posting some minor errors.

Thanks again for the welcome.

I love your attitude! Anyone looking at their coins will win a place in my book, but getting your child involved will earn my respect. Welcome. Please post some pics, minor or not, I love coins.

Another from Cointalk hey? (I'm Sylvester over there in case your wondering).


Errors hey?

Hmm one tip never get me started on error's because I get into terminology arguments. Much like National Dealer's examples, as you will soon realise 'flaw' is my favourite word.

But I'm harmless enough, we cater for all tastes here, even *gulp* hammered coins...

Nothing wrong with hammered coins, those are coins as well, and always nice to find :-)

Hey Carl... perhaps my avatar passed you by? ;-)

Hammered coins are my thing!

Well, being that I am a CoinWorld Ex-Forum-banned type member, I for one welcome you from the HH of CT--Unfortunately for them, apparently we here at this forum are starting to ahhh--steal, borrow, takeaway those over there with any intelligence at all for our hobby, those with salt and a tongue, instead of ahh, letting the post counters continue to abuse prives--I for 1 got tired of letting the young pups take over a site with 1 liners with absolutely no intelligence factors and they don't read or research sheet--So I for one welcome you here, and don't blame you for being here, show me sum bison errors bro and we rap bout it
BTW I am known over thar as ciscokid over thar--
