<p>[QUOTE=&quot;daysaway, post: 169922, member: 6963&quot;]hey guys, so im not a coin collector but due to a couple recent events my views on coin collecting have changed.&nbsp; i always thought it was a geeky hobby, but my mind has changed completely.&nbsp; anyways i was putting my change in my piggy bank a few weeks back and i noticed i had a quarter dated in 1943.&nbsp; it kind of just threw me back a bit and i started to think about this old quarter.&nbsp; its kind of humbling noticing the wear on the coin and it has a sense of power considering its been holding strong for over half a century.&nbsp; the next day i was jingling my coins in my pocket and it didn&#039;t make the normal coin jingle im accustomed too.&nbsp; i inspect all the coins and find out im holding a quarter from 1964 that seems to be made of a different metal possibly.&nbsp; it also felt much lighter.&nbsp; anyways, i still have these quarters (theres no value in them im assuming) not because i think their worth anything, but they are giving me the drive to peruse this as a hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>im just wondering if you guys can help a new guy out.&nbsp; how do i get started?&nbsp; how do i hunt for coins? what drives you guys to be numismatics (thats the correct term right?)?&nbsp; what do i do next?</p><p><br /></p><p>i appreciate you all for taking your time to read this, and hopefully taking so time to help a new guy out</p><p><br /></p><p>Ryan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
