Hello everyone! I'm happy to have found this community (thx @hfjacinto for putting me on to it). I've been a lifelong lover of all things numismatic, but only recently began collecting
US coins and paper money. My initial interest was cultivated by my grandfather (and father's) love of collecting, and a few early trips to Washington, DC (BEP & Treasury). I've recently started to inherit some of my grandfather's collection, and have been bitten by the coin bug. Have been focusing on recent US Mint issues, but have also started looking at turn of the 20th century (and later) coins. I've learned quickly that I know very little and so I'm looking to learn a lot on this forum. Thx for welcoming me to your community. I hope to get to know many of you in the coming years!
