Forum rules
Here's a link to how to post a topic with images in our community https://coinauctionshelp.com/welcome-to ... community/

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Welcome Kelly!
and I apologize if I ask what some may think are stupid questions.
We are here to help you learn and realize some people need to know the basics. So no problem!

An important thing I ask is below:

:character-cookiemonster: Since it takes time for us to request more info in order to help people, Daniel has made a default set of required pictures (and how to format a title for our search function to work best) that people need to provide us in each post. This way you get your answers faster as well.

Help us help you better: Please click the link below before making another post. :D

:text-link: :
Click here, READ the guidelines list and please watch the video!

Thank you for helping in this which will also save me time in the future! :D
