<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 1225021, member: 22271&quot;]I just got my Boy Scout Coin Collecting Merit Badge certification and plan on going to Scout meetings to talk about the Coin Collecting Merit Badge and coin collecting in general. Hopefully, this will get some kids interested in collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was a kid (1950&#039;s), you could find neat and valuable coins in circulation. Buffalo nickels were abundant. Occasionally, I would come across an Indian Head cent and found a few 1909 VDB&#039;s (but never a SVDB<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t collect modern errors, but I would like to ask CTers what errors kids should be looking for in their change (for example, the extra leaf Wisconsin quarters) and have even a remote possibility of finding. I&#039;d also (since the San Diego Coinarama is next weekend) like suggestions as to a few obvious modern errors that I could buy and show the Scouts what they could find in circulation today (1995 double die cent?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
