Hello

[Nooby]

Thanks for having me aboard. I'm new to collecting and recently have gained interest in the hobby, but find it difficult to find guidance. I havent paid membership dues as of yet. Whats a good microscope with screen to start with under $100?

welcome and happy hunting

about your best guidance if you aren't attending shows/shops, is to just start reading posts in active forums. learn to use the search features.

look at the 9 classes of doubled dies link at the top of the page, glossary of terms, error-ref.com and on the main page, when you click the logo at the top, you will see numismatic site links as the bottom forum, learn coinfacts.com, varietyvista, doubleddie, coppercoins, lincolncentresource and other similar sites. it is a deep rabbit hole, so buckle in.

start bookmarking sites, they'll come in handy later.
