Good Day Everyone,

I'm surprised that I hadn't stumbled on this forum before. I found Daniel's videos online a while back and have been a channel subscriber for some time. About myself: I've been collecting primarily 20th century coinage for more than 30 years. I'm a cost-conscious buyer, so many of my coins are "lower end", from coin roll hunting/circulation, or coins that I was fortunate enough to have purchased at modest prices that later appreciated. I enjoy looking for varieties, and lately have a lot of interest in 1950-55 proof coins. I also collect Lincoln Cents (who doesn't?) and Mercury dimes. I've been a member of the ANA on and off since the early 90s before I finally signed up to become a life member a couple years ago. While I don't buy/sell professionally, I do from time to time sell items to acquire other coins.
Thanks for reading about me.

I've been trying to make a post in the error related sub forum and keep getting a Wordfence error. Are there restrictions in place to prevent newbs from posting in the main threads until a mod clears them?

Thank you.
