How y'all doin, my name is Jon and I am new to the Coneca family. I'm a 39 year old mechanic in a small town in Eastern Kentucky. I have been collecting error coins for about a year now, in which I have managed to accumulate a rather large collection, most being Lincoln Memorial Cent's. I'm pretty sure I am the only person in town that looks for and collects error coins or any coin for that matter. So, about everyone I know here saves any weird looking pocket change and all their pennies for me. Which I then buy from them at face value then, meticulously go through every single one. Hope you guys have very merry Christmas and enjoy bringing in the new year with the one's you love.

If I have a question about a coin, is it okay to ask about it in the forum, with a picture attached?

Hello
My name is Rich Menchio I’m 58 and have been dabbling in coins and sports trading cards since I received my grandfather’s leftover collection after the family looted it lol. I try to collect error coins or things that just look weird. That being said my knowledge is very limited so I will be asking a lot of questions and I hope I don’t irritate anyone.
especially when it comes to double dies vs mechanical doubling. I hear so many people saying certain things are mechanical doubling but in the error books or even the error scopes it shows the same thing as a true doubled die.

Do I post my questions and images here or on forums and do you prefer the image be of the entire coin or just the part in question?

thank you
Rich
