2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.
3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.
7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

Hello!! I'm new at coin collecting.
Hey, my name is Shelby Howell I am 26, and I was born and raised in Rosepine, Louisiana! I have 2 amazing children and a wonderful husband! We are new to coin collecting and we don't really know what we are doing or even what we are looking for. I have downloaded books and looked up countless websites to try to find dates and errors. We have found a couple coins that we aren't sure about but mainly nothing! If anyone has and tips or ticks please share!!! I found a quarter(2005 West Virginia) the other day in some change i received in the store. It's very dark, is there something wrong with it?

Re: Hello!! I'm new at coin collecting.
Welcome to the forum and collecting. It looks like your quarter is toned and sometimes they do this is they're in a cup holder for a while.
Here's a couple books I recommend to help get you started and I wish you great finds and hope to see them here.

Re: Hello!! I'm new at coin collecting.
Welcome and enjoy the search. Great to hear about family time.
Your kids will probably be interested in what you are if they are young enough. It can be a source of fun for the whole family.
