Hello, I am a new member. My name is Austin and I am 17, and I have been collecting ever since I was 8 years old. I'm glad to be apart of the American Numismatic Association. I hope I can learn more with this organization and that I can meet some cool people within this coin community.

Welcome. Nice to meet the new folks. Feel free to ask questions. We are here to help. I am 13 and started seriously collecting at 12. We love new members. One of the best ways to learn is to read the Member Blog, where you can find info on every coinage subject known to ANA members. Anyways, welcome!

Hi Austin, good on you for making it here. The ANA is a very well organized organization. I was 15 when I joined the ANA and 17 when I really got into it. IMO this is the best place to learn and grow in numismatics. If you haven't already, try to find an ANA sponsored coin club near you. You will learn a whole lot while serving as a part of one.

Hello YoloBagels! I will definitely try and find a coin club sponsored by ANA. I will be getting a laptop soon and I figured I would explore more once I have one. The website will probably be easier to navigate on there then mobile.

Nice to meet you as well Oobie, thank you for welcoming me. I'm sure this will be a good experience, I am still learning how to navigate this website. I should be getting a laptop soon so so it should be easier on there. Unfortunately I do not have a Facebook but who knows, I may make one just for coins. I can't wait to engage, learn, and meet new people here.
