New Member Introduction

[BJM]

Good afternoon, everyone!

I am pleased to introduce myself to The Silver Forum.  I chanced upon a YouTuber's video that strongly recommended this site; just a few minutes of perusing here convinced me of this community's quality and I am happy to now be a member, albeit a fledgling one.

I am originally from New Orleans and collected coins as a child.  My father and I were frequent visitors of James H. Cohen & Sons Inc., a local coin dealer.  Though this shop seems to focus on antique weaponry and jewelry these days, in the 1990s there was a wide array of coins.  I started with some ancient Greek, Persian, and Roman coins and then graduated to silver and gold bullion (American Silver and Gold Eagles, in particular).  Overtime, my hobby died down and these coins were sold off shortly after the 2008 Financial Crisis.

I am currently reading up on silver and gold bullion as an investment activity.  There is still a great deal of ground to cover, but I can take things slowly.  In the meantime, I look forward to learning from all of you and reading up on the ample supply of informative content found on this website.

Thanks in advance!
