Hey Guys Its My 1st Day Of Collecting! Please Help!

Anyone? lol ill post some pics here soon but I need some tips

Thanks dude yeah I'm going to check out chase bank tomorrow. HAHA yeah ..seriously though this 1963 is so clean! Hey also another question should I stick to pennies or should I do nickels? In your opinion what coin has more in-circulation great finds? Ill try and post a picture of my faves I have so far and tell me what you think. Also is there any in-circulation coins that would be worth getting certified through pcgs?

You touch on a big range of questions/topics.

As for the diamonds in the rough, yeah it can seem like it, but knowledge is power. Knowing what you're looking for helps a lot, as well as volume (that's why there are CRH). Read through these forums...buy a Red Book...figure out what YOU want to collect and enjoy doing it...don't expect to make a killing...if that's what you're after, you need to be looking at other stuff besides cents and nickels, generally speaking.

Any you find that have seen little circulation, cartwheel luster on earlier dates, will be worth saving in your hunt until evaluated for scarcity. They will have an orange color (what we call Red or RD) to them. Some brown or BN coins, will have scarcity as well. All depends on the particular date and (mintage/supply and demand) of that particular coin.
The Red Book of United States coins found at most book stores, is a great resource for how rare a coin is.

My advice is to become obsessed, read these forums daily. Also pick one coin to begin with. Whatever interests you, for me it was penny's, they are the cheapest to get rolls of too. Focus on learning the key dates, and errors of one coin. Don't just jump around and try to learn everything at once. Pennies alone will overwhelm you.

Once again READ the forums and research! If someone mentions something, uses a term that you don't know, asks if this coin is a "whatever" and you don't know what they are talking about or what it looks like. Go research the heck out of it until you know.

By focusing on one type of coin at first you can really get to known them. Also your eyes become trained so that errors will pop out at you more easily. Also you want to embed certain years in your brain and know what you are looking for with that year.

Some key and semi key dates: 1943 copper, 1909s vdb, 1909s, 1914d, 1922 no d, 1931s.
Some valuable errors: 1955 double die, 1969s double die, 1970s small date, 1984 double die, 1983 double die "one cent" on the reverse, 1995 double die, 1998, 99 and 2000 WAM or Wide A M this is a proof die used on business strikes where there is a gap at the bottom of the A and M in america.

I could go on and on and on.. just with pennies. Just take it one day at a time, read, look at pictures, ask questions. Some of the people here are VERY knowledgeable and willing to help. I'm quite new at this myself, and comparing how much I know now to a couple months ago amazes me!

Also, don't expect to just start pulling valuable coins daily just by going through some rolls. But they are all still out there. People find them everyday! Although you can only find them if you take the time to learn what you are looking for!

And don't forget if there are any flea markets in your area, try them for coin dealers too. Same with garage/yard/estate sales.
