If you have lurked here without contributing, please know we want to hear from you and welcome you! If you have, up to now, only posted coins in the hopes someone will either i.d. them or offer up opinions regarding authenticity, please also contribute some posts about coins that you already know things about - show us pics and share with readers what you find interesting about them. Link us to online information that will help us to understand the context, the history, the artistry of your coins. Educate us! Entertain us! Enlighten us! And, in doing so, don't give any worry at all to the depth, the degree of research, the length of your posts. You can simply show us an occasional cool ancient/medieval coin and explain why you purchased it. Give us a chance to applaud you for your acquisition. Now, of course, if you can tell us a bit about the coin to broaden our understanding of its context, so much the better. Icing on the cake! (Of course, requests for i.d.'s and opinions are still always welcome!) Below are some links to great examples of informative, insightful, educational posts from the masters: dspenciner, TypeCoin97179, and VisigothKing. Now, although these guys set the bar quite high, there is in fact no need for post-envy here! Just provide some simple show and tell, please! https://goccf.com/t/260883&SearchTerms=dspenciner https://goccf.com/t/253518&SearchTerms=dspenciner https://goccf.com/t/258747&SearchTerms=dspenciner https://goccf.com/t/264605&SearchTe...pecoin971793 https://goccf.com/t/259446&SearchTe...peCoin971793 https://goccf.com/t/265298&SearchTe...visigothking https://goccf.com/t/189119&SearchTe...visigothking https://goccf.com/t/189641&SearchTe...visigothking Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 08/01/2016 11:02 pm I think this is a great post. I am new in the hobby, not even a year yet. Most of what I look at are Lincoln Cents - the Wheaties being my favorite. I am still a learner and love reading and learning from all of the posts here in the forum. It is such a fascinating hobby that I wish I had started in sooner in life. From all of the time I have already spent reading and such on the forum I still have not covered it all. I hope that sometime in future I will be able to share something with you all. Report this Post to the Staff

I'd recommend your posts as pretty darn good reading as well. https://goccf.com/t/266042 https://goccf.com/t/264690 https://goccf.com/t/263325 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 02:03 am I think this would work even better if this was reposted or moved to an area with more visibility where it still sort of fits, like the main coin forum. I'm sure there are some collectors of US/Canadian/etc. that have at least one or two ancients, and might not even realize CCF has an Ancients forum. There might also be some collectors whose potential interest in ancients might not even be touched yet, and so letting collectors of other parts of CCF know about the Ancients forum might awaken that interest. Just a thought. Report this Post to the Staff
