<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrOrange1970, post: 2653634, member: 80547&quot;]Don&#039;t get discouraged.&nbsp; Some of us are grumpier than others but still willing to provide great information.&nbsp; I&#039;m a pretty new member and I think I&#039;ve followed a pretty standard path.&nbsp; First some coin roll hunting, then mint sets / proof sets (modern) and from learning so much on this site, I&#039;ve bought the books and done enough research to start a full wheat set. </p><p><br /></p><p>Funny thing is that as you progress, you&#039;ll find that wheat cents are quite readily available and (the common issues) at prices you would be pretty surprised to find. </p><p>Example: a coworker brought in (knowing that I&#039;d read the books, etc.) a 1942 cent very similar to yours.&nbsp; As you he asked me what it was worth.&nbsp; I replied but also brought in a less than perfect MS 1942 cent that I had gotten at a coin show from a bargain bin (For my kids&#039; album).&nbsp; He was amazed at the luster, and the price....35cents!</p><p><br /></p><p>Key is just have fun, study the coins you like and as for what it&#039;s worth, worry more about not getting screwed on common coins that are inexpensive.&nbsp; Biggest recommendation is to go to a coin show or even search ebay to see what people are actually paying.&nbsp; A coin is only as valuable as the market says it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
