<p>[QUOTE="zekeguzz, post: 977913, member: 15455"]I have to agree with 10gary22 about 90%. I does seem people are less interested in collecting coin. All my friends know nothing about them. Went to a small firehouse annual gathering of four or five dealers and not one of them knew anything about my 1999 WAM.</p><p>All the jewelery shop is coins to melt not to collect except when the exceptionally rare one shows up. No ethics there. I am just finishing up 16 Whitmans and three danscos for my friend. He knows nothing about them but I'm trying to educate him. His collection is about $900 AND HE WANTS ME TO BUY THEM SO THAT THEY'LL GO TO SOMEONE WHO WILL APPRECIATE THEM. I was strictly a lincoln cent collector but after the last few months I'm into Buffalo AND Jefferson nickels, Mercury and Roosie dimes and Washinton quarters. I haven't bought a brick of lincolns in four weeks. It is hard work but very enoyable too. I having fun helping others evaluate their coins. I do tell them it is strictly my educated opinion on what I report to them. In the collection THt Ijust finished were: Wheat cents:</p><p>1922-D 1920-AU </p><p>1924-D </p><p>1931-S</p><p>BUFFALO nickles: (3) 1913 MS grade, 2 type 1's and 1 type 2.</p><p>1926-s 1914 </p><p> </p><p>ZEKE[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
