Hello. My name is Steve and have been collecting coins since I was a kid. Cool to see prices written on coin flips that I bought years ago. 1.25 for silver quarters and 5.00 dollar halfs. My dad was a collector. He died of cancer in 2013 and bought coins up to his last month of life. Guess they were for me. I sure wish he was alive today. When I watch Daniels videos I can't help but think how much he would have enjoyed them. So much knowledge at a simple click. I always think of him while watching I introduced my grandson to coins about three months ago and he's hooked. He facetimes me about once a week while he works on his collection. Third generation collector. When I buy coins I think of him for one-day they will be his. I also have a substantial fossil collection I was a sci teacher before retirement. Looking forward to having a group of coin collectors to answer many questions. Thank you
