Hi, my names Grant, I'm a 14 year old male who is WAY into coin collecting. I don't have much, but I talk to other collecters alot, and I'm learning alot. I dont have pictures, but I will soon! At the moment I have: 550+ Wheat pennies, 1911-1955 34 Indian Head pennies, 1882-1905 2 Mercury Dimes, 1937 and 1929, bought today $2 each Today 2 Buffalo Nickels, 1932 and 1931, also bought $2 each Today I only have one paper money, a 1957 Silver Certificate dollar. Also I have lots of foreign coins, to many to name and count. For 2 months of collecting, and buying, how does it look? Thanks everybody! Grant
awesome, and welcome! im 15, and just as much into collecting as you are your collection sounds awesome man! are you trying to complete any kind of set? or are you just accumulating random coins?
you appear to be really into collecting. Not bad, find your focus and start from there, what you want to collect, then buy a book that deals with the subject.
Well I dont really know what I want to start. But Im always buying when I have the money. And today it came across my mind to look for a coin collecting or coin information forum. I googled it, and here I am! Haha, I went to buy a booklet that had 20 mercury dimes in it, one guy said its worth $13.50, but the guy selling said $30.00, so I had to pass, only had $15.00. Anyway, I dont really know where I should start, mosly just collecting random coins.
Welcome to the forum Grant.:hail: There's plenty of nice people here to help with any collecting questions you have. Do you have any coin reference books yet? The Red Book is a great book with tons of information. It's a good place to start.:smile
Thanks everybdy,ill post pictures soon oh my collection, at least of it in piles, when we moved, they got mixed up so I need to sort them out by dates again.
Welcome, from one yn to another! Glad to have ya! :thumb: No collection is to great, or too small to have imo. Phoenix
If you don't already have one, get yourself a Red Book and read it cover to cover. That is a good way to find something that is both interesting and affordable in US coins.
welcome to the forum, the hobby, and our addiction it sounds like you are off to a very nice start! stop by and share any of those new additions
I wish I would of starting collecting that young. Welcome to a really fun hobby. I have a few rolls of parital date, no date or acid treated date buffalo nickels. You are welcome to have them if you like to help get your collection going. Probably a few more odds and ends I don't need or collect. My random act of kindness for the month. Just Private Message me if interested and I will send them out to you no charge. Best of luck with your collection.
