<p>[QUOTE=&quot;danco, post: 1333907, member: 35152&quot;]Hi All-</p><p><br /></p><p>First time poster here, brand new to coin collecting. I recently became interested when throwing a handful of change into my change jar and thought to myself &#039;what is the oldest coin in there?&#039;</p><p>I dumped it all out and sorted through them, not knowing what to set aside really. I came up with a handful of wheats, 1939 nickel, 1956-s dime, 1947 quarter, and a 1943 steel penny. I got online and took a look on Google and was blown away by all of the info and all of the great pieces to collect. With my personality, I knew I was hooked. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since then, I have been checking Ebay for deals and looking for estate sales, etc. I live near Burlington, VT and am wondering if there are others in the area to learn more from?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a photo of an auction I won on Ebay: </p><p>[ATTACH]152928.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a 1970-D Kennedy (beautiful condition, maybe a proof?), </p><p>1960-1964 roosevelt (possibly proofs? They are in Perfect shape, very bright)</p><p>2x 1964 dimes ( almost golden hue, great condition)</p><p>1949-s dime</p><p>1951-S dime</p><p>1955-S dime</p><p>58 wheats 1916-1958, mix of dates, mints, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>This auction was $26 with shipping....did I do OK based on my research??</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, as I grow my collection, I need to get more knowledgeable. Any advice on pieces to read? Also, is there a decent, comprehensive list of dates to look for for different denominations, mint errors, etc?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all for any info, I look forward to posting more and growing my collection!</p><p><br /></p><p>-Dan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
