I'm in the same boat. I've actually acquired many nice coins in my collection from my preferred LCSs. I have several decent ones that I've built...
I'm presuming the dime and the cent each replace one nickel. Therefore, a $0.01 profit.

Jaelus, I presume you speak Hungarian (particularly Hungarian coin collecting terms of art) in order to make your arrangement work?

You're presuming the part time job is enjoyable. I never said so. If you look at the time one spends detecting or CRH, it almost always results...
Also, remove war nickels from any calculations of junk silver value. They are not equivalent with 90% silver coins in terms of percentage of...
This discussion has been a good one and I would simply add that most of us fund our collections with 'hobby' money from our household budgets, so...

Yep. I see this as a certainty in my near future. The dealer I bought the 1753 from also had a 1612 Lubeck Thaler in nice circulated condition...
Recent local show buys. I'm enjoying world coinage more and more and...uh-oh...my first Thaler...this may be the beginning of...something. :)...
Now that I'm looking at these photos, AU-50 FH could be possible. Luckily, I got it for EF-40/45 money.
Recent local show buy. 1917-D Ty2 Standing Liberty quarter. It's perfect for my long term hold collection. It's easily a high EF. [ATTACH]...
As I said in my earlier post, this is one of my new directions for collecting. Here's four recent buys: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here's my 1884 Forint: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
