What are discussion groups / email lists?
These are email affinity groups that allow people with similiar interests to correspond via email through a central email server. Simply put…to talk to the group you send an email to the list email server, the server then takes care of distributing your email to all of the members. And you, in turn, receive the email from all of the other members through the server. Some of the lists are very active and can generate hundreds of messages a week. Others, particularly the specialized ones, geneate only a handfull of messages in a given period. Some are ‘chatty’ like a social club, others are more straight forward and factual. Only you can decide which type fits you best. And the only way that you can find out is to join. Have fun! We currently have 9 ancient coin email discussion groups listed; ACE (Ancient Coins For Education) Moneta-L, ACM-L (Ancient Coin Market), Numism-L, CoinCom, Numism-Fakes-L, Uncleaned Coins, Amnumsoc-l and the CoinForgeryDiscussionList. Eight out the nine lists
