Hello from New Jersey!

Hello!
Thank you for providing this community. I’ve been watching Daniel’s YouTube videos and thought I’d check it out.

I began collecting colonial coins in the 90’s, when I discovered through genealogical research that my roots in America go back to 1635…a total surprise! At the time, my husband was selling a relative’s coin collection for him on eBay, and I got interested looking through his books. I put together a small collection of nice colonial coppers…and then, we moved. And the collection disappeared. We looked everywhere…I was heartbroken, and angry with myself for having been so careless. That was twenty years ago.

Well, last week, my husband pulled out the old box of coins leftover from those eBay sales back in the 90s. There was a crumpled up envelope tucked into the box…we couldn’t believe it. It was my colonial coin collection! Not where it was supposed to be, but not gone forever…

So here I am. I think I’ll start collecting again. I’ll have some questions for sure.
Thanks again for letting me join!

"Welcome and glad you found your coins!"
Thanks! I felt like such a terrible steward all these years...I'm so relieved that they were not lost in discarded packing material or in the back seat of a NYC cab...
