im not as knowledgeable as i should be but...
i do collect coins and bills....i am always looking for wheaties and bicentennial quarters(i have around $100 worth at the moment)--both,mainly,bc i just like them and they are no longer made...i also collect error coins--if i come across them..i dont buy them...working in the service industry once in awhile i come across old coins or silver ones(bills too). matter of fact i opened a roll of nickels last yr i had gotten from the bank(i do this with all coins i get for the store) and to my surprise i found a PERFECT 1935(or 38 cant remember) buffalo nickel..i mean it looked like it had just came out if a case...i was told buy a dealer it was worth only $35..hell i was excited bc i paid a nickel for it...i also collect foriegn coins if i come across them.
the only ones i will actually buy are the old silver dollars...and ive been known to just buy silver rounds..........everything i buy/get/pick up are for investment purposes--longterm....i recently purchased a 1925 stone mtn commomerative coin--a salute to the Ga soldiers..i got it for $25--which was an awesome deal.
i LOVe this stuff,and am glad there is a thread for it....looking forward to learning/hearing more.
