Hello all, I have been collecting for 2 years. I found a I wooden box that my father had sitting on the floor in his closet. I remember it being a shoe shine kit. He has been dead for a couple years and I made up my mind to sell the house. Going through stuff I found his "shoe shine kit" had coins and notes he had been collecting. There is a lot of wheat pennies 1915-1958, half dollars from 1920-1980's, silver dollars 1920-78 a few old nickels and a bunch of dimes. The wheat pennies and dimes are what I have the most interest in. I didn't know anything about coins when I opened that box. I have researched and read everything I can get my hands on. I follow someone on YouTube that mentioned this forum and here I am. Trying to gain knowledge. Thanks for having me.

Like yourself, I'm from Texas, and I'm fairly new here too!

Welcome, LeeJay2212!!!

So far, I've gotten good answers to good questions.

I think you'll learn quite a bit if you take the time to read through the various Forum Posts that are of interest to you. Whatever you have questions about, you're welcome to ask via the Forums.

It's always a joy discovering coins and banknotes. You can also post pics here for others to see and to give you some insight pertaining to them.

Happy collecting,
POOBAH

I lived over half my life in Texas, just moving back to my home state of Arkansas 3 years ago. I had to get away from the floods and traffic of Houston after I retired . This forum is a great place to learn.
