eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 03/15/2016 01:17 am So...it's been a few years since I've been on the site, and I recognize a few people here, but lots of new faces, which is good ! So, here's why I was gone. My construction business which I ran with my father for 26 years, had to close due to the economy. Then my father died. One year later my mother died. Last June I had a kidney removed because of a diagnosis of Renal cancer. During these last 3 years or so, I've had to SELL my higher value coins, rather than COLLECT. So the joy and passion was stolen from me. Basically a broken heart in coin collecting. Now, I'm pulling out some of my stuff and getting interested again, although I don't have the extra funds to collect coins....I still love them, so I'm back. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/15/2016 4:53 pm Hopefully you've passed through that very rough patch. If you have an interest in coins again, then things are already looking brighter. If it's been a while since you've looked at your coins I'm sure it will be an adventure for you.
