HI Everyone, new member introduction.
As a child/teenager (born 1955) I was given a few foreign and US coins nothing special kept them all my life, never rely paid attention to them. No Not gonna be a wow story about what I had kept , just for background. Moving forward to three years ago, I am a retired Police Detective Lieutenant and help my wife's boss, an attorney, with some investigative tasks. He asked me to help him find the value of several pre 1933 US gold coins. That was the start of my new found hobby. Since then I have invested more time than my wife appreciates and have acquired for a beginner a modest little collection. My focus is on pennies and 1/2 dollar and dollar us silver, recently I bought a couple of large us currency. I love searching for error coins and usually go through one or two $25.00 penny boxes a month. Have not and don't expect to find the big one but have had a lot of fun, learned a lot and had some minor successes. This is why I joined I wanted help in attribution of some pennies; especially with the 1972 Lincoln cent DDOs.
Thanks for reading this, I will explore the site to find how to submit when I get a few minutes , have a great new year everyone, Tom
