Hey all, I'm James and I have a collecting problem.....
Seriously, I'm glad to find this forum. I think coin collecting is cool through and through. I started collecting as a teen (yes i still have those coins) mostly the cheaper wheaties with some nice in BU. I stopped for a while, had the kids, bought the house and i was recently "bitten" again.
It all began (again) when I found what I thought was a steel 1944 penny in my pocket change. Stuck to a magnet and everything. I thought I had a couple hundred thousand. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a fake. This fakery; however, made me realize that coin collecting was back on my radar, and the hunt was back on.
I personally love to collect all cents, but I collect most others denominations too.
Thanks for listening to my early morning rant.
