Hello to all, beginner to expert. I am new to coin collecting but I have bought a few coins over the years being totally at the mercy of the sellers honesty. I purchased mostly coins I remember as a kid and I grew up when silver coins were common. I would get 50 cents a week for my allowance, usually a Walking Liberty Half Dollar, and when the ice cream truck came by the driver would get that 50 cents and I would get back Buffalo Nickels and Mercury Dimes or Standing Liberty Quarters. I think those were some of the the coolest coins ever minted. Thanks to all for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge to those who are new to this adventure.

Indeed welcome! Love your username.
I grew up in the 70s/80s and it was rare by then to find Buffalo nickels or Mercury dimes in change - but when I did, it was a jackpot! Imagine finding SLQs! :)
