[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 894665, member: 16269"]Saving up and and buying a high grade coin is one good way to build up your collection. I've been assembling my collection(s) from coin roll hunting and finding collectible coins and bills from circulation. I've only purchased a few coins. Most have been foreign and I bought them because they were something that I most likely would not have found and the prices were right. Eg. 19th century bank token. I have a collection of foreign coins, a couple collections of error/variety coins (U.S. and Canadian), a collection of world banknotes and a collection of Canadian banknote errors. 95% of those have been put together by paying face value. The other thing is that the remaining rolls just get cashed in (if they have no collectible value or can be sold at a premium by assembling solid dates). The thrill of the hunt makes up for the time spent searching. Also, I find searching through stacks of bills or rolls of coins therapeutic.[/QUOTE]
