Lord maybe I shouldn't be on here I was bout to give up trying to comment at all 😂 I'm not highly educated as far as degrees or documents may verify but I am a very experienced country boy that has been around many wise men and women and had I took heed more to the advice and direction attempted to help me in life I would probably be much more successful an stable in every area of life anyway I had enough sense to know how to find you all and to research and know this is probably the best place a fella like myself outa be if I want to be around an learn from the best. Ty all for having me. I do have a few questions about what an how I should now go about gaining knowledge of the grade an authenticity of the coins I have ty all again

    Welcome. Relax and enjoy.
    This is a wonderful place to learn and share.
    The boys and I would like to remind you that politics and religion are not really a good discussion or answer here and can cause “The Ban Hammer “ to fall upon your head.
    Wise , and those of much experience , share this bit of wisdom… “collect what you like “
    We shall enjoy learning what you like. Lastly, Ricko is right on the money ( collecting joke). Get a red book. Great starting point. 😉🙀🦫

    One tip: if you have a question about a coin or coins, always provide photos of the complete coin obverse and reverse and any closeups of a particular area you have concerns about. Not 20 photographs, just enough to ID your question. Saying that, please be patient, as the forum will prevent any photo presentations by a new member for a couple of days or so. Welcome to the forum and give us a little info about you, as coin types you like, grade range, how long you have collected, your favorite coin in your collection and why, your future goals and anything you feel pertinent to give us a grasp of your needs. Books are a must and sooo many are available online for free. Best of luck.

    It doesn't even have to be a new Redbook. Except for values, all information in the back issues remains relevant.

    I stole the 'Fresh Meat' image from our dear late friend Russ. He used that image whenever he could to welcome new forum members. It is a fitting welcome for @Scorpio.

    I'm sorry I seem to be more an more apologetic everywhere I turn in every direction 😂 I jus realized I had been welcomed by you all ty all so very much and I was gone for so long trying to figure out how I could begin to offer any thing that would be of any interest and then how to approach presenting it and anyone interested not be suspicious and not want to chance making any transactions with me. An I really thought I had done well and only to make an ass out of myself unintentionally I promise. I would not most definitely not come into a forum of experts and collectors of years and wisdom and try to insult anyone's intelligence 🤣
    No I'm sum dumb but not plumb dumb. Ty all for the welcome an sorry I am just now responding to the welcomes.

    🤔 Are you here primarily to sell or to collect?

    You’ve come to the right place and I can tell you, without question, you are well received.
