Hello fellow coin junkies! My name is Frank and I live in Long Beach Washington and I have been collecting coins for 36 years and am now 42. The first coins ever got were a 1964 penny, nickel, dime, quarter and half dollar plated in gold that my mom got for me at a garage sale of a jeweler which someone stole the dime, quarter and half dollar (for obvious reasons) soon after, pretty sure it was my pos step dad. The very first coin I found on my own to put into my collection at six years old was a 1926 Buffalo nickel which I still have though my collection has been picked through many times throughout my life and I've stupidly sold some for weed when I was a teen including a horse blanket which I regret letting go of the most! #128557; I have always mainly focused on Lincoln cents but am just as of recently really getting deep into searching for errors and varieties. So far my favorite coins I have are lamination errors. I have another that I've been told 50/50 is an error or is damage, it's an hourglass shaped hole through a Wheat cent, then recently saw a pic of a penny struck they a "dime scissel" and looks dead on! I also have a quarter that I cannot figure out and haven't heard of, seen or found another like it so far, it's a 2003 D Alabama/Helen Keller that is completely silver, rim edge and all not a spot of copper color. Any ideas? I'm gonna post it soon with pics. Currently I have 3 BU Rolls I'm about to search through for errors/varieties, 2018 P , 2022 D penny rolls and a 2022 D Quarter Roll and have a heavy poich full of possible errors to scope too so I've got my work cut out for me and still wanting more Lastly I have tons of foreign coins oldest that I'm sure of the date is an 1844 one schilling and oldest sure error I have is 1914 Great Britain penny which is size of dollar coin you can see obverse bust outline on reverse and I have a square hole coin from China but no date in English anyway. I only have 1 banknote left and looking to sell it and stick to coins, sending in for grading soon 1957A star note brilliant bright green, crisp and no true folds or creases there is a partial soft crease like spot where you can tell someone maybe laid over half to put in shirt pocket or something non harsh like that.
Rest in Peace

and interesting backstory!
On your 2003-D Alabama State Quarter, it is most likely a silver plated coin, had you not said the D mintmark, then the other possibility would have been a San Francisco silver proof... The Chinese coin is very likely one of their copper cash coins; the majority of them are worth only a couple of dollars average except for some more valuable varieties which in some cases can be worth much more. Most of these cash coins were minted from the 1920s and earlier to the 1600s!
We would all love to see some pics to help you along the way, so keep asking us questions, we like helping others!
