So I have loads of coins (not many worth much). I have some I think could be errors and/or varieties. Most of my local coin clubs and dealers seem to only be interested in coins of value (silver, gold, key dates, etc) in good condition.

My question is do I just cash them all in and forget it or is there someplace I can go to learn? I kinda need people to people contact like to meet with others who share the same interest (errors and varieties).

Any suggestions on where I might find a club or something like that in Knoxville, TN?

Thanks for any leads. &

Any chance of you posting some of your coins here (in separate threads please)? You should find the responses respectful and educational.


Additionally, while it lacks a social aspect, you should consider some time looking through the series of amazingly good threads assembled by @coop a few years back:

There's also a lot of great websites that can help you learn about different varieties and errors on coins. I'll list a few.

For varieties:
www.doubleddie.com
www.varietyvista.com
www.coppercoins.com

For errors:
www.error-ref.com
