Good Evening!! My name is Chris I am from Texas. I am new to this hope I am doing this correctly. I have been collecting for about 5 years now. I am looking for advice and more knowledge. Trying to get the kids more involved in coin collecting and the awesome history that comes with it.

Thanks
Chris

Welcome!

Pick up a couple of Lincoln Memorial Cent folders and several rolls of pennies from the bank. That's the gateway drug for many! That's how I got my start! Of course, growing up in the 70s, rolls were lousy with wheat pennies back then. Or state quarters, depending on age / budget. My allowance used to be $2 - in nickels at one time - at my insistence!
