Hi Everyone,
My name is Dave. Been collecting coins for about 3 years now. I'm 50 somthin' and live in upstate NY, over 4 hours drive from NY City. It's nothin' like the city here, cows and cornfields (for those who are not familiar with NY State :) ) Spend my day job with electronics, software and technology. I landed on coin collecting through an interest in metals and alloys. I really like the precision and look of the coins. Got into the Franklin half dollars because as a technology geek, I'm a Ben Franklin fan.
I ran across Daniel's videos (usually after I'd already made whatever mistake he was warning us about) and really like his knowledge, sincerity and his desire to help the regular guy. Looking forward to the discussions here and hope I can add a bit.
