<p>[QUOTE="mblackwolf, post: 929317, member: 26253"]Hello everyone. I used to collect coins as a child but haven't in quite some time. I recently got back into the hobby and collect lincoln cents and look for error coins (though i haven't had any luck and have trouble spotting them). I was wondering if anyone could recommend something to collect that would be too expensive. I am currently in college so i dont have a large budget to spend on my hobby but i still want a nice collection that is organized. As a child i mainly just got coins i thought looked cool or found interesting but i want to take a better approach this time. Also, i have heard people talking about roll searching and bag searching. I was wondering where people get these rolls or bags. I would assume the bank and not the "unsearched shotgun rolls" on ebay. However, are there some banks that are more willing to sell you large ammounts of coins and take them back after you search them. Like would i be better off going into a small local bank or a typical well known bank like wachovia or bank of america, or is there somewhere else? Thank you in advance for any information it is greatly appreciated. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
