Evenin' Everyone

#1 Unread post by Chattykathy »

I am from Sacramento, California USA and have recently begun to take an interest in finding out about this coin hobby. I am AMAZED at how much there is to learn and so grateful to those who are willling to share their knowledge to us newbees. I've looked over Wexler's website and watched the Coin HelpU YouTube channel. I recently joined another coin community, too. At the moment, I'm a bit overwhelmed by kinda understanding the things I've been seeing and reading, but seems so much of this stuff just takes quite some time to really learn what it is you are seeing. We have a coin show coming up in my area later this month. I want to go see what it's like. I think I saw they said you can have your coins graded for free. Maybe wishful thinking eh? So I look forward to seeing what others are interested in and what they have along their coin journeys.

Thanks for the welcome! Flyer says “free appraisals” either before or after “buy, sell, trade.” So I guess grading and certification are different than appraisals? And would helping distinguish between a damaged coin, error coin or a fraud coin fall under appraisal? Sorry if this is too many questions in one reply! I’m sure I will find out at the show!
