I'm recently retired, and just became interested in "stacking" silver after all these years. Have run across many pre 65 coins in my life, being born in '57. Never kept or saved any of them, except for a 1957 Proof Set I stumbled up on years ago and a completed book of Jefferson nickels (38-61) that I got for about $15.
Anyway while trying to learn about stacking before I got my feet wet, I ran across Daniel's vid's on YouTube, which eventually led me here.
So hello to everyone, I been looking on here trying to learn. Did not intend to collect coins other than "hoarding" a few, but I had a few Roosevelt's and thought I'd do the 46-64 book. I came across a dime that I'm not sure on the mint mark , so I signed up here and will try to post the question and pic over in the error? room.
Anyway great info here, thanks!
