Hi from blindguy. First, I am legally blind. I lost 95 % of my vision to a stroke in my eyes 6 years ago so please excuse my typing. I am 60 years old and have been a coin collector and stacker for 53 years. I still buy silver and gold with the help from some amazing  machines that make life easier. I look forward to trying to get involved with to forum. thank you, from blindguy (Jim)

Hi Jim

I am also very new to this Forum and have only just got into this fascinating hobby, so haven't got your years of experience. Ive found the forum very welcoming and a great source of information which I'm sure you will only add to.

 

Take care pal

John

Hi, and a big welcome to The Silver Forum. If you intend to trade on the forum, you may like to consider the benefits of upgrading your membership, as this will allow you access to sales and trades as soon as they are posted, amongst other things.

Of course, there is no obligation, but I thought I would mention it.

Cheers Rob

I am legally blind from a stroke in my eyes. I have 10 % vision left in one eye. Even that is not clear. When I look at the words you guys write I can see towo to three letters of each word at a time. My wife bought me a 60 inch computer monitor and a oversized key board with 1 inch letters. I no longer see colors also so just black and white and shades of gray. My wife is also a long time coin collector so she halps me. I also have a topaz machine that makes larger anything I put in it on a large screen. I use to take members of the coin club I help start in 2005 to coin shows such as fun show, central states, ANA an ect. but since I lost my vision no one even calls me. I got very bitter and quit all the clubs I use to belong to last fall. Then I saw the silver forum and thought I would try to get involved one more time. I still am having trouble with seeing parts of the site. The worst part of being blind is not being able to not see its the way other people treat you. I am still the same guy as before, love to stack and collect coins.  I had some t shirts made up last year with a saying on them  " YOU CLEARLY SEE WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR VISION"    Jim

Hello and welcome from another relative newcomer to the forum.  Your posts on various topics have already improved my own knowledge, so thank you for that already 😊
