I also collect some coins. My father (born in 1920) still has a lot of the original silver coins. He has a lot of the mercury dimes, buffalo nickels, wheat pennies, indian pennies, and even liberty dollars and half dollars. I have been through his collection looking time and time again.
I did want to share that a good way to find coins is to start cycling through wrapped coins from the bank. Let them know you want a few rolls and take them home and sort through them. You would be amazed at what you find sometimes. Keep the circulation running and you can build one hella collection. Just wanted to pass that tip on to fellow collectors. *Wink. Oh. I also have hella large stamp collection too. Anyone here collect stamps too? |

Welcome, Papa...thanks for the tip. I was trying to figure out where I was going to get My next fix. Now I know *s
I used to dabble in stamps as a kid, but I didn't stick with it.

i also check Craigslist...when i first moved to Florida and decided to get into collecting a little more seriously i found an ad for 5 silver dollars pre 1900 for $40. one of them has a nice deep rainbow color to it.
Papa--good idea...at one time i had a teller that would call me and let me know when they had eisenhower dollars and half dollars. i was keeping my coins separated by denomination in cardboard cigar boxes,but i recently found wooden ones for a buck a piece so im about to switch to those. just some advice i found very useful was to keep ur coins in plastic coin rolls--made for all denominations..it keeps them from rubbing against each other and scratching themselves up. |

Good tips. I recently bought some paper coin flips to put Mine in, but I am not sure if it is going to be cost effective to do that as My collection grows, especially with coins that have already been circulated. I have also seen plastic sheets that house maybe 20 coins per sheet so they can be viewed without being handled.

Today I added 18 Kennedy 1/2 dollars and a $2.00 bill that was printed in 1963, not a bad day.

*subscribing* to this thread. I have started a new coin collection. I had a pretty good one when I was a kid. I clearly have a lot to learn though!

Well, I am starting SMALL... but actually, yes, there are some things I am looking for. I am completing my Lincoln cents collection... and some of the earlier ones I am looking for. I don't have it with me but will come back...
I know... am starting small... but I love spending the time on it!

I collect coins and paper money - especially of the foreign nature. It started when my mother gave me world war two era reichmarks and it spiraled from there. It doesn't look like real money to me, which makes it all the more fascinating. I have mercury dimes, buffalo nickels, silver dollars, etc... but it's the foreign money that lights me up.

as i said before i collect paper money as well..tons of $2 bills,several silver dollar certificates and old 5,10,20 and a couple 50s..i also collect bills that have 5-7 of the same #..dunno why just know of ppl that collected them so i started...its actually kinda hard to find bills with 5 of the same #s let alone 6 or 7. |

Yeah, precious metals are really high right now, that's why I am entertaining Myself with U.S. coins at the moment. The 2.00 bill I have has the red stamp and as far as I can tell those are the ones that are worth more than face value. I bet your $50.00 bill is worth more than face value!

yeah the red seals are worth more. i was told the $50 is worth 3xs that,but not sure..i got alot of my kennedy halfs and eisenhower dollar coins from the bank...i even managed to get 2 rolls of silver half dollars from there---total luck! i have several $1 silver certificates..all in the 1950s......i still find the best place for coins is craigslist or the occassional yard sale...sometimes a flea market is good if its one that has vendors that can just come set up! just an fyi...i tend to ramble--my thoughts go all over the place..in case it wasnt obvious yet...

I just got them at the bank, they were really helpful.
Now today I got some more Kennedy 1/2 dollars and 5 Eisenhower dollars, those things are huge. I also got some rolled coin, so let the hunt begin! Quote:
