New From Ma! Looking For Help On New Start!

coin roll hunting cents will yield the most results. Give it about half a year and $500, and you will probably find a key date/variety.

welcome to CCF . If you really want to start collecting coins then your in the right place. however the first thing you must learn is proper terminology.
It's called a Lincoln Cent ,not a penny . Unless you want to collect UK Coins. there are many coins you can start with. As I mentioned the Lincoln Cent offers many challenges, 1909-present date.
This is just my opinion but try to stay away from the new stuff coming out of the U.S.Mint. it will only drain your wallet and they have no history behind them. most of my coins date from 1818-1955 in a nice good to choice AU+ condition. and the pride I get when ever I look at them is unreal .Collect what interests you, and enjoy the hobby. don't worry about selling right now ,that can come later down the line.

Well you have been given some good advice thus far but I would suggest doing some homework on whatever coins that interest you. You will only get out of your collection what you put in it (time, money, etc.). Are you doing it for profit, personal satisfaction and love of coins and their history, leaving something for your heirs etc! You've come to the right place because all of the above are here and many people are willing to help you understand many aspects of collecting. Remember Ask and Ye Shall Learn! Welcome to CCF.

Lincoln penny**

would anyone have a website or a good video on what to look for on one dollar bills? ive seen a few videos but doesn't really get into what exactly am I looking for and when I type anything into google I can pretty much ebay .

thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply Harmonica. that was exactly what I was looking for to the coins

If you want your 'hobby' to really have grounds as an abstract form of investing (which will more likely than not, do better than traditional investments)... maybe a great starting point for a new collector would be 'high graded' or 'low mintage' coinage. If that was where my focus would have started 20+ years ago!
