Hey guy's it has been a bit since i have done anything. I think my last blog was a year ago! Jeez time flies. The world has changed a lot since i was last on. With the national protests, Covid, the November elections and the ensuing war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I hope you all have been alright and i send my prayer's to you.  I have had a large change in me going from the 7 year old with horrible grammar (Im sure i still have bad grammar) to the mighty but not really, 5th grader in boy scouts being all manly and stuff. I am starting to have a spark of wanting to get more serious about our beloved hobby. My family has had a large move from Kentucky to Georgia  just north of Atlanta. I hope that i can come back into the hobby and connect more with my fellow coin collectors and be re-accepted into the community. I am planning of over the next 60 years of my life to make a collection of early American federal coins. My focus will be around 1792 to 1912 as i see that time as one of the greatest. I am fascinated with the architecture and mostly the lives of the rich people and aristocrats like the Vanderbilts.  And i want to preserve the knowledge and history of the great artists, thinkers and buisnessmen of that time. And how they shaped the economy and culture of the country we all know and love today. I give my thanks out to all the mentors of me about the hobby of numismatics and for some the career. I hope you all have a nice holiday season and a happy new year.     PS. No more excuses i will try to start posting as much as i can get myself to.
