Hi Folks,
Started collecting coins during my paper-route days many decades ago. One older lady was paying me with these really old coins. Showed them to my older brother and he told me to just collect them - don't spend them - and go offer the lady $ for the collection. She was having no part of it and never paid me with another old coin after that (probably raiding her hubby's collection for cash)!
Been member of CONECA for years, but new to the Forum. Not a specific type of collector... I have many different kinds, mostly US coins.
Enjoy the Errorscope articles and information. Have already matched many coins to variety vista over the years.
Debating on the worthiness of certification. Due to age, need to start reducing my inventory since my kids want no part of this, so I may start submitting some for examination/attribution first.
Wondering what folks are doing with the thousands of low-grade IH or Lincoln cents that no collector is interested in, now that cents are going away..?
Best of luck to all,
Mike
