So I just bought my firs coin a $1 1849 Liberty. I also purchased most of my supplies. I spent most of last night sorting through all of my coins and putting them into the correct holes. I had enough junk coins to sell to my husband for $15 and will sell him more as he gets more cash to trade.
My Husband is a recycle nut and the shop where he goes gives him $2 bills and he gives those to me. All of my other money comes from throwing my change into the bottom of my purse until it gets so heavy I have to dump it all out and throw into my change jar.
Had enough money to buy all of my supplies plus my coin and still have money left over. I feel like I'm off to a lucky start.

I have a yearly subscription with the US mint for certiam products, I have no problem with modern junk. ;-))
There are parameters which I have set for myself though , sometimes I'm the windshield sometimes I'm the bug.

Welcome!
If you are collecting things that the Mint is selling I would get them from the Mint, too many times has the Mint sold out and then you have to pay a premium to buy it from somewhere else.

 That's what my wife does.  To the forum. By you forum name I assume that you were in the Navy. If so how long did you serve? |

Send them to PAINT. Smaller than 90 is easy. Then just go to your post here and click on the little camera.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMMMMMMMM. Sure wish we had a WELCOME sign. One suggestion. Instead of keeping all your change in a purse or anywhere until to heavy, put into a place at home where they will not get scratched from each other. For about 99% of most coins you find in change, doesn't really matter. HOWEVER, if you get home and dump all that change in drawer and find a 1914D Lincoln Cent that is now all scratched up from being on the bottom of your purse, you'll really get a little on the irritated side. |

You have to actually hit the "reply to topic" link first. Dont use the quick reply box. Then you should be able to see the camera.
