Greeting from Virginia Beach, Virginia. I started collecting coins in the late 1960s. My grandmother bought me an album for pennies and nickels and got me hooked. I recently pulled out my collection and noticed that I stopped collecting in 1979. Time to fill in the holes for the last 40 years. At the time, I collected current coins in circulation plus V-nickels, Franklin halves, and Morgan dollars.

I got my wife interested and we are working on a type set of US coins as well as picking up the coins to fill in the last 40 years.

I have been browsing the forum for the last week and am surprised at some of the problems such as counterfeit coins from China. Now that I have extra spending money and looking to upgrade the coins in my set, I am concerned that I may not be getting "real" coins. At least I know that the Morgan dollars I received from my grandparents should be real.

Up in the left hand corner you'll notice under Coin Community Family is the phrase "Education is the key to collector success"
Class is always in session here and I credit most of what I know to the fine members of CCF past and present.
