[QUOTE="CasualAg$, post: 3587831, member: 99311"]Excellent thread, even with bb21’s distractions. I have confined my collecting to things that interest me. [LIST] [*]Indian Head cents - prices sliding so will only buy bargains at present and only if ANA guidelines compliant. [*]New Jefferson proof nickels - no significant monetary outlay required. [*]Roosevelt dimes - prices diving as silver rises, bargains available. No significant monetary outlay required.

Not only has this hobby welcomed “middle men” it has helped them proliferate. This type of market strategy leads to Target and Walmart, not to Macy’s. Keep your money and wait until the coins are selling next to Beanies. Buy what you enjoy, invest in what matters. And...what Doug said, in spades.[/QUOTE]
