Mooseknuckle Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 05/21/2006 7:32 pm My girlfriend sold me (face value!!) her coin collection today ... I had to stack it so that I could easily count it and figure out how much to give her. It came out to a little over $250. I'm basically trying to learn the history and idiosyncracies behind modern coinage before I go back in time, and learn about our older coins. In the process, I'm having oodles of fun, and learning a lot about minting, coin conditions, and grading. Here's a picture of my new loot: Report this Post to the Staff

Daniel J. Goevert Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 05/21/2006 10:39 pm Hi Moosenuckle: I'm curious about your girlfriend's ex-collection. How did she collect the coins? Was there some objective in particular she was trying to reach? From the photos, everything looks like ordinary pocket change. Do let us know! Thanks for sharing, and congratulations on your new-found hobby. Many of us old-timers here can tell you from experience that you have embarked on a great journey that will last you a lifetime. Be sure to learn as much as you can, for that will enable you to get more enjoyment out of coins! Report this Post to the Staff
Mooseknuckle Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 05/21/2006 11:46 pm No no ... those are her 'change' coins ... she didn't collect a thing... she was saving all of her change to go to the bank one day and deposit it... I just made it easy for her.... So far I've gone through about 1/3 of the quarters, and it's all '65+ ... Report this Post to the Staff

Kyra Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 05/22/2006 7:48 pm That's a good place to start! May I make a suggestion? If you don't already have one, go out and get yourself a Red Book- you can find them at any bookstore or coin shop. That way you can learn some coin history, and if you find anything unusual in your new hoard you might be able to find out about it in the book! Rachel [:p] Report this Post to the Staff
