<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 747390, member: 4552&quot;]Jefferson Nickels, as already stated, is rather easily made from just what is considered change. Haven&#039;t tried this for a long time but many years ago I went to banks and purchased a bag, not rolls, of Nickels. Those are usually just laying around in vaults for many years. Going through a bag I was able to almost fill an Album. Eventually I was able to make several full Albums doing that. Used to be easy to do that with Pennies (cents) too but this Lincoln Cent craze due to the 100th anniversary of that coin has made that a little tuff lately. </p><p>I&#039;ve found my greatest finds in coins over the years at places like Flea markets, garage/yard/estate sales too. And note I said Estate Sales not estate auctions. Those are the ones where someone just posts a note on a pole saying Estate Sale. Usually from a death in the family. Those are a little on the knowing side about such sales. People just look what is shown and don&#039;t ASK. I always ASK about coins. Occationally some will say they have some in the house and if there are more than one person selling, they will go get them. No one ever places coins out on a table at a garage/yard/estate sale. Same with guns, knives, swords, etc. If you ASK you may find a small fortune in coins. </p><p>At one such garage sale I ASKED and was shown a jar of pennies. I estimated about $35 dollars worth. The bottom was all Indian head Cents. I offered $50 for it and got it. At home I found the nestest coins were only in the 1950&#039;s. Lots of really great coins. Just remember to ASK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
