A little about me..

I got my first blue tri-fold whitman Lincoln penny book from grandma when I was 12, about half the book was filled and the rest in time would be found in circulation.

Every year I would buy some rolls of pennies from the bank to search through for a couple of nice ones to put in my book, what a deal an AU coin at a penny a hole.

After I completed that book I was hooked, maybe it was the sense of accomplishment, I have been collecting coins off and on ever since.

I have read my share of coin books and articles about coins, but I am far from being an expert on any coin.

This information is offered AS IS my thoughts and opinions may not be shared by other coin collectors.

This site is dedicated to the Information Super Highway, it was designed with information as the number one priority, with the selling or buying of any goods or services a far second. It is my wish to encourage this prospective in hopes that others will follow.

The commercialization of the internet has increased its size considerably over the years. With new sites coming online every day. The internet may only survive with the help of commercial ventures, this I understand, I just hope it doesn't change into the Mall Super Highway, in the process.

When searching for an item, the models available, features and pricing lists are very helpful when you know what you want, however the fluff put on the packages by advertising companies are often designed to confuse or bewilder the customer, coping and displaying that information alone is less then helpful.

It has been my experience that low prices will get customers to buy, good products and service may get them to buy the next time they need that product, but information will get them to visit more often.

As I said before the coins I'm most interested in are U.S. Coins and I don't claim to know everything, but as my knowledge expands so will this site, time allowing !

The purpose of this site is NOT to sell you something, but to inspire a desire to take up the wonderful hobby of coin collecting.

Not completely selfless, the more collectors the higher the demand, so the more my collection would be worth. Although I may not wish to sell my hole collection, some day my heir's might.

I hope you have learned a little something here. If after you have read a few pages, you catch yourself looking at your change the next time you purchase something, I will have accomplished part of what I sought after. If I'm fortunate enough to earn a sustained bookmark I will have achieved my goal.

Thanks for your visit, I hope you return soon.
