Hey,
I'm from the great state of Georgia. I'm retired from tax and accounting company three years ago. I just started collecting coins. nothing major, just for the fun and excitement. The excitement is looking at a coin I never knew existed. Looking through a microscope at a coin thinking this is awesome.
Thanks in advance for all the great help I know I will receive.
