Evening All, I've been with The Silver Forum (TSF) for a while now and recently heard some chatter about another interesting group of collectors out on the Interweb so I thought I'd stop by and perhaps stay awhile. I've been into PMs for about a year now. Started as a Silver stacker but the collector gene that runs in my family firmly took hold and I've been into numismatics since. When I first decided to leave the stacking bullion behind, I began buying everything that every world Mint said we should if we are "real" coin collectors and I quickly found myself out of money with a hodgepodge for a collection. I was fortunate to be given wise counsel fairly early on from several veteran collectors on TSF to educate myself as much as possible before making any more purchases. Short story long, I've since settled in, sold all that early stuff and have focused my efforts on quality Sixpences, Shillings and Florins from 1838 - 1910. And I'm happy to say my library continues to grow along with my collection! I look forward to getting to know you all and hearing your stories and numismatic adventures. Have a great weekend.

I picked up this beautiful 1900 Florin. The grey-scale toning on the reverse is really nice IMO.
