Hello Folks, Greetings From California

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm fascinated by collecting in general. The history of any said collectables, the artistic input or craftsmanship involved, as well an assigned value a collectable item might fetch,
That being said, coins of course find their way into everyone's pockets and generally are accepted at face value. While rare examples of coins show up at various locations on a constant basis. It's good to be aware of what's out there. And more importantly being aware of what you have personally, and what to be looking for, if you have the opportunity. There are many potentially good things to be aware of and on the lookout for. And I'm glad this forum is here as a resource.
Thank you
