<p>[QUOTE="Eskychess, post: 148321, member: 4692"]I have about 300 in a large bag. My grandma always saved them and the habit passed on to me. My wife runs a cash register and she always buys them when she gets them. I will always horde them. We do have to keep in mind that yeah, maybe today they're face value, but somebody has got to collect for tomorrow's generation. I look at my 1858 Large Letter MS-64 Flying Eagle and thank the stars everyday that somebody had the foresight to put that thing away and keep it nice! Else I wouldn't have this type of enjoyment we coin people all know and love! The original owner probably didn't make much off my Flying Eagle either, but they still did me a wonderful service <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So, if you enjoy saving coins, keep doing it. Who knows what kid you might end up inspiring in 2125 .... No you won't make money on them, but you'll keep the hobby going <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>What I do for investment part though is I do buy all 1976 S - Silver quarters I can.
