Greeting my fellow numismatics and aspiring collectors!

I wanted to join this community mainly to offer what knowledge I can and learn everything else I do not currently know about our mutual hobby.

A little bit about myself, I have been collecting since I was 5 years old, I like to think I have 25 years experience in our wonderful hobby, but I humble myself and admit, most of what I know has came to me in the past 7 years of taking collecting seriously. I collect Paper Food Stamps, One Cent specimens and Quarters specifically. However I own a large collection of affordable (to me) designs and denominations. A dream coin to me would be a full red Indian cent however it is currently one I do not own. (I do have a Brown Cent in approx MS condition). The coolest specimen I ever came across was a Quarter struck on a nickel planchet (Found in a coinstar) and to this day I regret selling it for $60. But I hope it found a good home!

I have been watching Daniels videos on YouTube for almost 2 years and still learn new things all the time. I do hope to be a valuable member to the community here, and aspire to absorb all the knowledge I can on the topic of numismania!
