My primary interest is coin errors and varieties which I became interested in about a year ago when I came across 2000-something nickle that seemed to have the bottom half of all the words on the heads side erased. From a young age I've been excited by the possibility of finding treasure in unexpected places
but it never occurred to me look for it in everyday coins. I admit still don't understand the difference between an error and a variety but I now check out coins everyday. My other interest is in finding valuable artwork in thrift shops such as the Salvation Army. I've actually had more success with that then I have with coins but I do still enjoy looking for it in coins.
