[QUOTE="dingodonkey, post: 1097172, member: 25354"]I started with Lincoln Wheat Cents, starting with 100 rolls to search through. It was fun, I filled a lot of spots in my albums and upgraded as I found nicer examples, etc. I never finished the set, though. I'm not just missing the rarest and most expensive ones, but a lot of other years and mint marks as well. I wanted something more exciting and different, but still reasonably affordable. I wanted something older. I found Indian Head Cents, which I slowly collected until only two slots remained in my album (the expensive ones). Some of the more expensive ones are in very low grades, and some of the cheaper ones are in very high grades. If you're looking for something older, I recommend IHCs. Copper is good right now, with silver prices so high. Of course, silver might just skyrocket more for all we know.[/QUOTE]
