Newbie!

#1 Unread post by WyoCoinMan »

Hello! I just joined the Coin Help U community and figured I may as well introduce myself. I am currently 14 years old and growing in my hobby of coin collecting. I live in Wyoming and enjoy growing my coin collection and learning more about my coins. I have found some old 2 dollar bills at banks, so I enjoy asking around banks for interesting notes or coins. Sometimes I luck out, sometimes not. Anyway, just starting my journey and hope this page can help me through my journeys in coin collecting!

What type of coins do you collect?

Yes, they know I'm here lol. For the type of coins that I collect, I enjoy collecting Morgans, Lincoln cents, and errors. I have a very limited collection as of now, but I am working on growing it! Right now I really want a Philadelphia minted morgan in MS64 graded by PCGS or NGC. That would be awesome. Thanks!

I also have a question in the General US Coins forum titled "1880-S Morgan Dollar Strange Toning Question" you may know something about!

Welcome to our community. You're getting into this at a pretty young age; maybe you'll be able to pay for college with an erroneous coin? I sure wish I could... 😂

Yes, starting young with coins is a great thing! Keep it up!

But I agree with Funky Strike. If you mean "pay off" in the literal sense, don't base or bet your financial future on that. Could you become a professional numismatist and make a career of it?...........yes, but VERY few do! This coin thing is just a hobby for the vast majority of us. Remember, the words "coins" and "investment" are rarely used in the same sentence.

Hi and welcome to the coinhelpu community! Good to see some young collectors! interesting enough, I was also 14 years old. Been in the hobby of coin collecting for a while, it certainly is a fun hobby. If you had any questions regarding coins and such, I’ll be glad to provide some answers if my knowledge allows me to. Best of luck and happy hunting!

I figured the only way this would ever "pay off" is if I hit the holy grail of errors or something. Thanks!

Thanks! I actually do have a question posted on the General US coins forum about an 1880-s Morgan dollar with some interesting toning. Thank you!!
