Hello, Doug here. 70 years young and starting my new collection focused on die breaks, cuds, and varieties. Mostly concentrating on pennies. I love pennies. I like to buy a few boxes and search them. I don't know exactly why. Maybe because I grew up buying penny candy at the local grocery store, selling beer bottles and soda bottles to get those pennies. For whatever reason pennies fascinate me.
Not really new to coin collecting, I had a nice collection put together starting in about 1964. Unfortunately it was stolen in the early 80's. I got back into collecting fairly recently. The old days of checking dates, mint marks, and mint production numbers, that I began my collecting with, seems mostly gone. The new ideas of errors and varieties boggled me.
I never do anything half way so I started reading and learning. That effort to learn brought me here. I am a paying member, as of today, and look forward to posting photos and asking questions. So much to learn and so little time.
