<p>[QUOTE="Bazz, post: 746551, member: 17274"]Good luck on getting those coins in your change Ryan. That will truly be an accomplishment if you can do it that way. It was so easy just a few years ago but they have seemed to have dried up. It reminds me of silver coins which back in the seventies were pretty easy to find but since many people now understand that just about anything prior to 1964 is silver have tucked them away. Today people see the wheat design on the back of a penny and probably see it as something unusual.</p><p> </p><p>As for my set I have started out even easier than the Franklin and gone for Kennedy half dollars. I have bought about 12 proofs, three of which have come with proof sets from the mint. I have purchased the others from Apmex. I probably got hammered relatively speaking but they are so cheap that it really doesn't matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
