I'll start by saying mine. I was just collecting coins one day and was on the computer. I was wondering what other coins people had found in circulation, like at MC Donald's or Wall-mart in there change. so I Googled it and a thread from CCF came up. It looked promising so I clicked on it and read the reply's. A couple months later I found out what this site is all about so I made my account. I also looked up US coin facts, mintage's and got the CCF US coin facts and mintage's page which is now in my favourites.  |

I found this site in exactly the same way.
Curiously, I don't post on any other coin site.
I just happen to like the folks on THIS site.

Did an on-line search to find out some information about a Civil War token I recently purchased and the search engine found it. Soooo glad I did.  |

I had recently re-started collecting, and searched online for forums to learn all I can about coins. I looked at a few forums, but this one was easier to use, very helpful, and had the largest knowledge base.

Found it just by luck when searching info on a 1867 Canadian Confederation Medal. So glad to find so many enthusiastic responses here as I'm a kind of oldish ..  ..."newbie"....and so much new info and experts that are out here in CCF land....... Fun to take part in the questions and answers ...and grading fun.. |

This is the first and only online forum I have ever been a part of.
I don't do social sites like twitter or facebook.
I found it one day while surfing and decided to join.
Very happy to be a part of this family :-)

I found it by accident when I Googled to find information about a coin I've had for many moons.
BTW, the coin is still a mystery...

Like @vermontensium this is the only forum I belong to and contribute to. Google searches for information I was looking for kept bringing me here so I eventually broke down and signed up.

I was told about it by a fellow collector at work. It has been a positive experience and I can find out so much more

Much the same as everyone else. after having rekindled a 45 year love/hate I was looking for information on some world silver coins. A google link led me to a thread here about world silver collecting. Having an extensive collection of Pandas, Libertads, Brittanias and others, I joined to try and give the poster what I thought was the benefit of my 40 + years of experience. The poster wanted suggestions of coins for a collection. People were suggesting these wild hard to find and very expensive world 1 ouncers. I suggested that perhaps he should pick a series to concentrate on so that he could have a collection instead of a random bunch of disassociated silver coins. It would perhaps be a better use of a limited budget and the focus would make him more successful so he would be more wanting to continue in the hobby. The next poster , who had over 1000 posts, posted " Don't you hate when someone asks for suggestions and people think it is alright to post their opinion and try to lead them in another direction " I remember thinking " what a bunch of jerks on this site "  I'll take my "opinions" and years and years of experience somewhere else. I went and joined another site and posted there for a couple of months. After a couple of months I decided to give CCF another chance and have been here exclusively ever since. And hopefully I haven't driven away any new members recently. |
