    Yes. Starting lots of threads to post photos of pocket change.

    You need to post what you think is unusual about the coin.

    Finding errors and varieties in circulation isn't common. Even minor errors that carry no premium like small debris filled dies and tiny die cracks are hard to find. Finding something that might retail for $1-$5 is a significant accomplishment.

    If you're planning on getting rich looking for errors, you need to understand the minting and die making processes, look at lots and lots and lots of coins, and most important - be incredibly lucky.

  • Like I said before, i am just fascinated. Not trying to get rich and certainly not trying for get insulted. I didn't think I'd find quite so many bullies on a coun forum. IJ wont post again.

    There are people here that would argue with themselves. No worries. But please one thread on the front page at a time. When there is no interest in what you post it will roll off to the second page. Do not bump your thread to pout and complain that you were treated harshly. Kind of an unwritten rule.

    Have a nice day

    It's not you. It's the 50 versions of you that came before.

    @Amscozzaro73 Think of this forum as a club. A club that's open to everyone but a club that has its own rules (written and unwritten) and expectations nonetheless. It can take a while to learn the ropes. As such - as is the case with any club - its probably best to lay low for a while (lurk, if you like) until you understand the culture. Most people here are actually very helpful but many have become numbed by the large number of brash newbies that storm in thinking they already know it all or simply (unknowingly) stomp all over form etiquette. My advice: stick around but take it slowly.

    Before posting any more photos, learn about the minting process. If you invest some time in this pursuit you won't waste your time on normal (or damaged) coins.
