I just want some inexpensive (couple bucks a coin for VG-ish to F+ condition) oldish coins to better my small collection. I was thinking US or Canadian small and large cents, nickels, dimes, and perhaps a quarter or two from 1900-1920. What would you get?
Barber nickels... There are some good deals to be found for a fair price. Look in a dealers junk bin for some for a couple bucks.
Indian head cents, Liberty nickels...these can be had in common dates in VG-F for $1-$3. The dimes can be had; Mercury dimes in VG-F no problem, and Barber dimes in G-VG for $2-$3. Quarters will be more difficult. You could probably pull off a G-4 Barber quarter for $3 with some searching.

Coinkeeper, would you please PM me before you pay decide to pay for your coins? Also let me know what wheat cents you are really needing. It is late, so I might not be able to get back to answer until tomorrow. jeankay
I'd go with the Barber Nickels. Other than the 1885, 1886, and 1912-S; it's a reasonable series to assemble.
