Hey, its AmericasNickels. Could anybody tell me which coin I should CRH for? I am 13 years old and have a small budget. Right now I am doing nickels but was wondering if anybody could give me any ideas. Thanks, AmericasNickels
Start with pennies. Got to the bank and get a box of $25. That should last you a week or so. Get some coin folders and fill up the penny books, and search for wheats and odds and ends. Thats what I did
Cents at your age and budget would probably be the best course of action. Ask for higher denominations/older coins for your birthday and such. There are many threads here with helpful suggestions, just read around for ideas.
Definitely start with pennies. They're cheap and you're likely to find some cool stuff just starting out.
You can find the most silver in half dollars. 1965-1970 are 40% silver and can be sold for $3 - $5 each. You have to visit many banks to find them though.
If you can, stay with nickels. I find them rewarding and the most fun. Pennies are nice, but there isn't much good stuff to be found. If any banks in your area have halves, it is definitely a good idea to get some of them before another coin roll hunter in your area with a much larger budget buys them all. This has happened to me a couple times.
