You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

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.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

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). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Hello! I’ve been a collector of coins and currency for a long time but would love to know more about the hobby we all share. I look forward to “meeting” you all!

I’d like to apologize for the late response! Been a hectic month. I’ve always loved the history associated with coins and what they represent. Right now I’m really getting into European Silver Crowns. I’m starting small but I have high hopes for the future. I’d really appreciate anyone’s input as far as things to look for or educational materials. I promise I won’t take so long to respond this time lol

This is a 1821 Crown I picked up and it’s what got me hooked. The image of St George slaying the dragon is simply awesome.

Thanks for the advice! I’m trying to be careful and only deal with trustworthy dealers like yourself. Unfortunately honest and straightforward people are not as common as they should be.
