A big "Hello" from the most overly enthusiastic newbie to everything coins! I started collecting coins about 2 years or so ago. I have attempted to learn everything I could on my own but am now at a standstill. I have come to the conclusion it will be a huge struggle to further my knowledge of this incredibly large subject without being blessed with the help of a mentor. Collecting coins (or being a professional in this subject) is undoubtedly not for the faint of heart. I commend all of you, collectors and enthusiasts. The extensive time you have dedicated, attention to the tiny details, commitment to staying engaged with your studies, PATIENCE (speaks for itself), and the love that has pushed you to stay with this incredible "hobby"! I have read every site, watched every video and even tried to get answers from talking computers! I live on the Sun Coast of Florida which happens to be a retirement community. Because of this I find incredible coins all the time. I can not wait to post pictures and see what you guys think! Thanks so much for allowing me to ask for help, I certainly can use it!
