Thread: Newbie Coin Enthusiast

Welcome aboard. Try going through some rolls, all of us old-timers probably started out that way (in my case 1962). You can still find some Wheatie Lincolns and the occasional 40% silver (90% if you're real lucky) Kennedy. The price is right!

Silver is my addiction.

I collect mostly U.S. Quarters and Dollars. I have all the Sacagawea's and President and am currently looking to put together a nice Susan B collection. I also am working on the Washington quarters from 1932-1947 (have all the others). I cannot wait for the National Parks coins to start coming out. I have tried to learn as much as I can from every source I can find, but am always looking to learn more. I have a very limited budget to spend on coins, for example the only Sacagawea I do not currently own is the 2001 proof. The coin shop in town will sell it to me for $28.00 and that is a bit much for me to spend right now. I am more comfortable in the $5.00 dollar range, but hope to increase that in the near future. I know this really limits what I can spend but to me half the fun is in the collecting for example I have a complete uncirculated set of both the P & D State and territory quarters, yet still look through my change for state quarters to fill up my old Whitman book(I have the uncirculated in a nice Dansko Album) and it is fun to see how long it takes to fill up the book just from pocket change and then I take them out and buy other coins with them(my local coin shop just loves it when I do that hah hah), then start the cycle over again. Well I have probably dragged on too long and most everyone has already gone on to something else by now, but for those of you still reading thank you and I welcome any advice, knowledge, or ideas you may have. I hope to be a regular poster here on cointalk.

Welcome and the great thing about coins is you can do it anyway with any budget you decide - the only thing holding you back is your own imagination!

This probably belogs on the roll searching post, but I have gone through 20 penny rolls and found just one wheatie, but man was it in good shape. I just got done doing nickles which are more exciting. I was finding on the average about one pre 60 nickle every two rolls. I find that roll searching, although it messes up my neck is a lot of fun. It's cheap to do and you will find some keepers. When done just take the culled loser change back to the bank and start the next round. I previously did some quarters just to get some state quarters. I will try halves next.
