John Rogers posted a blog postTime To Bring Our Hobby Into The New Century!
Hi everyone, I'm a new member but I have something that needs to be said. It is time to bring our hobby out of the dark ages and into the light of modern technology. The very fact that we still submit our coins to human beings to be graded leaves the door wide open for problems. Consider this my fellow numismatic friends.

Profile Information
- About Me
- I enjoy learning about coins, trading coins, and also buying and selling coins. I have spent most of my working life in the automotive field as a transmission technician. I am a peace loving individual who enjoys researching coins in the quite solitude of night with a good cup of coffee. Simple pleasures are the best.
- About My Coin Collection
- My collection consists of World and US coins. Mostly 19th and 20th century. I like quality coins UNC and up. I don't collect to complete sets, I collect coins more for who the engraver was. I do prefer silver coins since I like the patina they produce. If a certain coin was produced in silver first and then copper or nickel later, I will usually only collect the silver coins from that series unless I like the engraver. Example: I will collect just about any Jefferson Nickel, silver or not.
- Favorite Coin Series
- Winged Liberty Head Dimes (aka Mercury Dimes)
- Favorite Coin from Your Collection
- Any Winged Liberty Head Dime or Walking Liberty.

I am sure that Coin Network will bring many special-interest collectors and hobbyists together. I am a collector, hobbyist, and coin-student based in India.
Indian coins are gradually becoming a rage worldwide. To know more about them, I request you to please join Indian Coins group at
http://www.coinnetwork.com/group/indiancoins
Help us to popularize Indian Coins collection, study and information-dissemination. This can be done if a very large number of friends are brought to this group for sharing of information about Indian Coins.
I am sure that you will help in this venture
