<p>[QUOTE=&quot;proxymom, post: 1501901, member: 39476&quot;]Am new to this site and fairly new to collecting error coins as well, but the need to tell you THANK YOU for posting these links made me have to register despite having an older slower puter and a hubby who keeps telling me not to register cuz it slows the puter down!! LOL LOL!! So not only Thank You, but THANK YOU!! Needless to say they are proving to be a big help on this end!! </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;My name is Rose and I live in a very small NM town that has one whole street light that constantly blinks red on all four sides. I have some health problems that are slowly but progressively limiting my mobility, but I can still get around, just not as far or as fast as I used to. We have a little local newspaper here that has been in existance for over a hundred years and the two current co owners/editors are both seniors who have been there for 40+ years. Being seniors, it has become more difficult for them to roll all the change from the newspaper racks each week so I began rolling it for them over a year ago. Recently I was checking the stacks of coins for any silver ones when another longtime resident happened to come in and asked if that was what I was doing. When I told her &quot;YES&quot; she asked me if I had also been checking for any &quot;ERROR COINS&quot; and proceeded to tell me about them when I said that I had no idea what she was talking about. I was aware of the silver coins due to simple fact my husband had a collection of old coins when we married in 85 and has been occasionally adding to it through the years, but finding out about the error coins, their value, and the massive community of collectors involved with them when I have access to so much change from the paper, plus several containers of pennies we have collected over time, seemed like a plausable extra income that I can definitely use right about now. But there is a fast developing problem and its MY HUSBAND!!!! He is currently working out of town and comes in on the weekends. When he first came in after I started sorting through all the change he was intrigued, then I made the mistake of showing him some of the keepers I had already found and I watched the intrique in his eyes turn into utter fascination. He took my &quot; in od we rust &quot; quarter that also happens to have a chunk of metal cleanly cut out of it into the kitchen to look at it where the light was better. A few mins later I realized he hadn&#039;t brought it back, so went in to get it from him and he was STILL looking at it!! He didnt say anything when I took it away, but he wasnt looking too happy about it either! I now have to learn a LOT of things FAST, starting with the basics like how the people are taking such close up pictures and the best way for a newbie to sell them online and about a million other things in order to get them out of the house ASAP. He already asked me if he could take a couple of them to work and show a couple of the guys that might be interested enough to buy them. DUH!!! He never even asked what they were worth! Needless to say, I told him NO because didnt want to risk him getting them mixed up and spending them accidentally. Once again, not a happy camper on his end, but the up side of it is that he is now looking long and hard at all his change BEFORE he spends it and has brought me home a couple of oddball looking coins to &quot;Check Out&quot; but he dosent want to sell them unless they are worth A LOT! LOL LOL!!! Anyways, thats the situation on this end and why you posting those sites was such a big help! Needless to say, any other helpful information from you, or anybody else for that matter, that qualifys as crash course lessons towards turning a newbie into someone who knows enough to lose the &quot;NEWBIE&quot; title would be very much appreciated! Thanks Again!! n HAVE A GREAT DAY![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
