Where do I start?

Starting out getting back into coins, I didn't know that I had so many options. When I was a kid, it was a gift and what I found in my change. Obviously, we all no that any circulated coin is pretty much worth its face value. And as an adult, not too many people are going to give me coin sets. Where do you start? The real answer is that I don't have the answer. You find coins anywhere and everywhere. Some of the places that I have found include: Ebay, HSN (Home Shopping Network), Shop NBC, Collectors Alliance, the US Mint. Basically, I google coin collecting and checked things out. What I found was that finding the sites doesn't mean anything if you don't do your homework in advance. I will share my views on some of these sites in future posts.

Welcome Back to the Show

I collected coins with my big brother when I was a kid. I was always into the the concept of it. I never really understood how much I loved it until my brother stole my collection. I cried and whined about it but eventually I moved on. Well that was until this year when I stumbled upon it again. I know it never went away but I did. I blocked out my brother stealing my collection. The joy of looking at a shiny new coin. The feeling that I was lucky to have it. I picked up a state quarter set and all the emotions came back. I missed collecting....I know it didn't miss me but I am totally and completely hooked. I hope you enjoy my views and thoughts....by the by, I am not promising that I am an expert just junky.
