<p>[QUOTE="seeker007, post: 172583, member: 6898"]Well, I finally did it. I studied ONE type coin for a few weeks, looked at a few shops, and ...*DRUMROLL*.....Bought my "first" coin! I know, seems pretty humourous to you veterns, but it was my fist non-found-in-change-actually- spent -money-on coin. I tried to scan it, but that didn't work well. Have to get a camera and figure it out. It is an 1865 US 2-Cent AU55 . I checked it over and over , and the guy was nice enough not to rush me and gave me a few pointers. It is choco brown with a bit of red luster over the whole coin. Kind of an orangey fading to brown look It talked - so I bought. All horizonatl/vertical shield lines unworn. The "We" is sharp and and the other grade points look very good. Has the "Fancy flip" five on the date. . Anyway, I had fun. I think I may have opened Pandora's Box. Before the first coin, I could still have gotten away...Now I am hooked![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
