I don't think having the money to buy mega coins is a criteria for
being a serious collector. I'm seriously broke if that accounts for
anything. Nor is attendance at C4 conventions, I've never been to
one. Until this group started I didn't even know any other
collectors. Still, I have 22 Machin varieties, 50 or so New Jerseys
(no 71-y), 75 Connecticut varieties,100 nice British and Irish
counterfeit halfpence, and various other foreign coins that
circulated in colonial America, medals, ect ect. I have spent
hundreds of dollars on books and spent numerous hours in libraries
doing research ,yet you couldn't get me to stand up in front of a
group of people and give a talk. Well, maybe for a R-7 Machin I might
give it a whirl. I would like to write some things as well, but
missing those four years of high school has diminished my writing
skills to a degree.I do try once in a while and will continue to do
so. I will probably collect these little chunks of copper until I
die. I can't think of any other thing I would rather do ,and that, in
my opinion, makes me a serious collector.

someone's room or the hotel bar late at night just shooting the
bull.....just without the cigarette smoke.
