New Member Introductory Post
Hello! I just thought I would introduce myself here as I am new to this site. I've been collecting now for about the past year and a half or so but have, what I believe to be, a nice little collection. I primarily collect older US coins with a current focus on Morgan dollars. I was given used (and empty) Whitman Morgan albums from the 60's so I've been trying to get that filled out, much to the demise of my wallet. I also have a Dansco 7070 that I am working on that is about 75% complete, along with several older Whitman albums in the same status.
I enjoy searching through just about every coin I come across for different varieties and/or mint errors and sharing pictures of things I find interesting. Trying to identify VAM's in my Morgan collection is like a vice to me. I love it and hate it at the same time. But when I finally figure out which VAM it is I feel accomplished having done so, so it makes it worth the time spent figuring it out to me in the end. I have several coins that I will eventually share here to gather some opinions on what lead to the resulting error, but one coin in particular lead me to this site. That coin is my 1956 (P) quarter that I believe has both occluded and ruptured gas bubbles on the obverse. Having mentioned it and sharing images in a different forum, it was eventually recommended to me by members of that site to join and post here. So here I am!
I am excited to get my feet wet here and share in the knowledge and experience that I admittedly may be lacking in when it comes to errors and varieties. I think I have a knack for getting the gist of things most of the time and I learn fairly quickly, but please have a little patience with me while I learn as I am still kind of green in comparison to many experienced collectors. Thanks for having me here and I look forward to sharing!
