Finding one's way around the coin boards

Hi there,
My name is Shell2day and I am new to the boards. I am particularly interested in better date US gold and toned interesting looking Morgan dollars. Also like type coins. I am friends with Tom b. Any advice on maximizing my use of the boards would be much appreciated. Many thanks
Shell2day

    Howdy Shell2day. :)

    I'd like to let folks know that I have known Shell2day for a number of years and that he has an eye for really nice coins. I have no doubt that he has knowledge that can help any number of members on these boards.

    Welcome, Shell2day! Any friend of TomB is a friend of ours. :)

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Best advice.... learn how to take great photos (or just have Tom do it) and share your interests with us. We'll enjoy seeing them and stimulating discussion will naturally follow.

    Really nice in that it's not the typical hacked CC coin
