Newbie to coin collecting
Hi y'all. I just started seriously getting into coin collecting. My grandfather use to be into collecting coins and he recently gave me his collection. I am looking to collect either coins that have interesting designs or are related to parts of history i am interested in. Just the other day bought a 1898 Morgan Dollar that goal of getting a coin from every major conflict the US fought in. I am hoping to be able to absorb at least a small part of the knowledge that is here so i can better continue my collecting.
