Thank you so much for allowing me to join this forum. I've been a long-time collector who followed a very typical route to where I am today in my collecting endeavors. Collected while a youth . . . No time for the hobby while raising a family and work-life . . . Kids raised and gone . . . and now with better finances and time to collect a more enriching collection of coins. I've been a member of ANA for about 30 years and in early 2019 joined the EAC. My current collecting goals are mint-state Large Cents, Proof V nickels, $1, $2-1/2 and $5 gold and working on a Complete U.S. Type Set. I collect CAC Certified almost exclusively and I am confident that I will learn much on this forum and hope that with that knowledge I can enrich other collector's knowledge in time.
