Gather EC

An Elongated Coin Collection

I got a Facebook page!
Why? I’m not quite sure, but my web hosting company said I should… Now there’s an added component of confusion. Before, I had to think of what to post on here. With the added page on FB, should I just double post everything?? I kind of wish I talked to someone who’s more tech savvy first. But it’s awesome to know that there are people who Likes my site :D

Anything that gets me motivated to press more coins and include more update is a good thing. I should have set that as a New Year resolution: introduce a dozen new pennies by post each week.

I’ve lived near the District for a few years now, but the American History Museum was closed for renovation when I fist moved here. Last year, I finally visited to see the Julia Child exhibit after reading Julie and Julia (her kitchen was larger than mine…)

Nobody would believe me, but I’m honestly working really really hard at reducing the backlog and adding more coins into the database.

I’m still receiving coins from friends and family.  Just today, Wendy gave me one from Washington DC.  I also have a bag full of ECs from my trip to Japan a few months ago.  Originally I was going to scan in the coins as soon as I get back and post the extras for trade.  That definitely took a turn for the slower.

Alright, all this talk… Getting down to the updates:
