New To The Vast World Of Coins!

Hi, I'm Andrea, typing from a mini-horse town in Michigan. Over the years I have collected many things, many things that are much easier to research and learn about than coins. I can imagine that I'm not the first or final person with frustrations when it comes to determining the values of my coins, most of which have been found by me or I've inherited from a friend. My misc. collection is small but diverse. I am planning to post questions in several of the specified forums here. I haven't the foggiest idea where else to begin that will leave me with an adequate feeling about my knowledge for each coin, so I'll be diving in to the forum pool over the next week or so. Keep an eye out for my posts, if I don't get hits on them, I will try a different tactic! Thanks!
