Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 9:51 pm I've started collecting error and variety coins when I was 9 years old. That was 43 years ago. I joined CCF about 3 years ago and have learned more about coins than in the 40 years leading up to then. I've seen coins that were terrible fakes and coins that I thought were fakes that were very rare and very real. The thing I like most about CCF is that the people here not only know what they are talking about, but they will share the information with you to make you a better collector and not try to make you feel stupid because you haven't seen a coin before. It's also lots of fun! Ben ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
