Hello,

I'm new to this website, new to coin collecting in general. I've only been collecting coins for about a year now. I have seen some of the collections on this website, & to all those who have spent their lives collecting coins, I want to say that it is quite an achievement, & for me an inspiration. I'm currently fourteen years old, so while I haven't much experience in collecting coins yet, I will say that most of my spare time is consumed either buying coins, trading coins internationally, or sorting rolls of coins from banks. Last year I began selling plants & such, & have made about $2000 from it so far. While in perspective it isn't much, I essentially go to the bank, get about 50 rolls of nickels or pennies, sometimes quarters, & sort through them, & take back the junk. I collect world coins, mostly Italian liras, Ukrainian koypiyok, German pfennig, & Soviet banknotes & rubles. I have an ebay store for my extra coins that I started this December, only $20 in revenue so far but I'm working to add more listings. *** Edited by Staff - Please review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. *** In addition to the other coins I mentioned, I also have a few hundred nickels I've saved from bank rolls, all from the early (-1964) 60s, 50s, 40s, & some ones I've bought along with some Liberty V nickels & Buffalo nickels. I have about 20 of the penny books now, most of them almost entirely filled, & most from 1941-1974. I have a thousand or so wheat pennies, maybe fifty Indian Head pennies, a hundred or so 2×2 coin flips with American & international coins, about 20 WWII era banknotes, a few proof sets including a 1957 one, 5000 or so copper pennies (-1982), four 1909 VDBs, $100 or so modern silver, & a lot of miscellaneous coins. I wrote this because it seems as though there are classes of people here, & it is everyone's goal to distinguish & highlight themselves, regardless of the pursuit of this knowledge. I am interested in learning from the many interesting people on this site, & it seems that this website is also used as a network/forum for coin swaps. If so, I'd be interested to know if I'd qualify to use that forum, & if so if anyone is interested in a few hundred wheat pennies or some older world coins, & what they'd be willing to trade. Later I will post which coins I'm looking for in any exchange or sale, but how do I do this?
