While I just found this organization a couple days ago, I'm not yet a member but excited as hell to pay the dues & send the application to become an associate of yours, officially! I'm not even gonna question it and just automatically predict there are far more knowledgeable contributers to posts with questions here than the people that constantly reply with guesses rather than fact or hypothesis like groups on Facebook.
My thirst for knowledge everything abour coin collecting is 2yrs old & doesn't extend past the U.S. currency type that's been used in everyday transitions for past 120 years, which is suspect to be similar for most individuals. While having only been 2yrs, I'm confident in stating i know quite a bit m9re than some having done this for 20yrs as I've regularly spent more than 60 hrs a week at times reading books, watching tutorials and actually engaging in visual inspections of coins.
My mom is the one who changed me into and got me hooked to this damn awareness and compulsive nature to check the details of any change I'm given from a store as soon as possible. My dad wasn't a coin collector but throughout his years, did acquire small lots of coins if encountered through travels and just stored them with others and never thought of again. After he passed away, my mom entrusted me to sort through it all and determine it's value for possible disbursement if needed financially. However, i do take full responsibility for my actions and the continuation on my own of items that I find intriguing.
Obviously anyone in this sport has heard the name Coneca and I'm sure I've visited the site before, never really engaged the resources. Honestly, I never really knew until last week it's members did literal attributing. I began the fruitless task of attempting to locate a reference guide on the Coneca site listing all the years of coins varieties but certain there actually isn't one. Then a few days ago found myself back to Coneca for their instructions for submitting a ☆NEW DISCOVERY ☆ & getting then getting steered to this associated forum was by necessity cuz Wexlers has posted they'recurrently not accepting copper cents for assessment. I believe this is the way to do it and forcing a requirement to provide photo evidence of a supposedly rare find first, saves tons of time for the professionals whom give it an initial consideration. Also, as luck would have it, I stumbled on a wheat set with very wide DDO in IGWT and medium on every other characters and had it not been done this way I'd never have know about the membership or especially this forum.
I'll shut up now and let you talk about what you want.
