Hi all,
I have been interested in coin collecting for a long while but other projects and life kept pulling me in different directions. But since my Grandson was born last month I started looking into coin collecting as a neat hobby I might be able to pass on to him when he gets older. Well I have to say I have been bitten hard by the Numismatics bug...:D
It is very difficult not to just jump in feet first and start buying up and collecting every coin in sight. But instead of driving myself into the poor house I figured it would be better to start small so I'm starting with a Circulated Pennies collection. Grabbed $20 worth of penny rolls from the bank and started picking through them. Also during this time I have done a lot of reading and I find out about Doubled Dies, Repunched Mint Marks, Over Mint Marks, RPD's, MPD's, and OVD's, Oh MY... I always have liked the odd ball, strange, NQR (Not Quite Right) items I have come across in the world so this really peaked my interest. I had to know more. So after several days googling I stumbled in and after lurking for a bit I think I have found the right place and people to help me learn about my new obsession.
So again, Hello and I look forward to talking with you all.
