Gamall Maor New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 11:15 am First off I'm glad I found this site. Been looking for one for a few weeks now! I started collecting in 1971 when my grandfather gave me a 1971 Ike. Like most kids I collected everything I could get my hands on. Put them in flips, did that for years. While in the Navy my parents cleaned out my room and sold the "collection" (lol) and sent me the cash. Left the Navy, got married and about 2001 discovered coin collecting again thanks to a coworked who was an avid collector. Learned a ton from him. That coin collecting in more than collecting coins, completing a set. It's history you can hold in your hand. Like a whole new world to me. Well in 2010 my ex-wife wanted to take a trip, she sold my coins to pay for it, which is why she's and ex!. Here we are in 2025, a few weeks ago I found a few Ike's that survived the sales and were buried in a box titled "Childhood". That lite a fire that had been dormant for a long time. This time I'm older, wiser and have a renewed interest in coins and all collecting has to offer. Looking forward to learning and getting to know folks who understand what an addiction coins are!

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 3:03 pm Welcome! I think many of us go thru the phases you described. I started collecting ever since I can remember, stopped in College. Started in my 30's, stopped in my late 30's, started again in my 40's stopped a few years later and got into it a few years ago. I sold some, kept some, recently sold a lot and purchased a lot. Its all good. The coins will be around (although they may cost more). If you like Ike's try to do a date set. Its not costly. Add the SBA's and you have the full set of clad dollars. jbuck, the ikes are for you My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Edited by hfjacinto 01/08/2025 3:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
