My parents don't do all that, but if I asked I'm sure they would. My dad and I also metal detect and he also has somewhat of a coin collection, well a coin hoard in my opinion.

Hi YoungNumismatist.
So you and your dad go metal-detecting! Totally sweet! I have a question for you: do you find that certain years of coins get really corroded faster than others? You must find all sorts of coins and stuff. I don't metal detect myself, but I've noticed that the plated coins really go downhill much faster than the older solid single metal coins do. Is it just me or have you noticed the same thing?

I haven't really had that problem, but I have noticed that it all depends on the area's soil and other factors around that. One thing I have noticed is that it is easy to tell the period of a penny that you get because of the composition of the penny before and after 1982.

Youngnumismatist, Its great to get started early! I've been collecting for ages, but only just started branching out, now that I can start using paypal and ebay and be treated like a human when I enter a bank. Good luck, and If you want any UK stuff, Id be more than happy to trade with you. |

Alright. You wouldn't happen to have any 1997 sets, I don't care if they are put together by you or you bought them like that. I mean every coin from 1997. That is my birthyear by the way. Thanks for anything you have.
