Hi Everyone!
I'm excited to be here and can't wait to share my coin collecting journey with you all, a journey that owes so much to my grandfathers. It began in 1983, when I was a young 13-year-old moving to Lucketts, Virginia. A simple, yet meaningful, moment with my dad's dad in Cumberland, Maryland sparked my interest. He let me keep the change from our meal, and among it was a unique 1973-D Lincoln Cent featuring Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln. Initially, its distinctive appearance intrigued me, and I later understood it as a special, counterstamped coin. This discovery ignited my lifelong, albeit casual, interest in collecting coins with unique characteristics.
Now in 2023, my passion has deepened, fueled by the memory of my mom's dad, a bank president and avid coin collector. Inspired by his legacy, I've started to more seriously explore numismatics, building upon the collection I've slowly amassed over the years. I still treasure that first Lincoln Cent, a precious reminder of my early steps in this fascinating hobby. I’ve attached pictures of the coin to this post for everyone to view.
While I'm not yet a paying member of CONECA, I plan to join in the near future. I'm eager to share more with you and learn from the wealth of knowledge in this group.
