<p>[QUOTE="sublime118, post: 413375, member: 15411"]I also ordered some proof sets from the mint. I looked up some of the old sets from like 20 years ago, they are worth a lot more money than they cost back then. Part of me says that "finding" old coins is better than, "buying" new mint sets. I think what I want to accomplish is a good mix of old and new, and hold on to them for a long long time. I'm not interested in making a bunch of money. I want to collect, and not spend a fortune on doing it. Banks don't hold squat around here, I already called. Flea market may have some. Pawn shops are real iffy around here. My trusty coinstar at work keeps me entertained lol. For the last 2 weeks I've looked at every amount of change I've gotten. It's been a lot of fun. I'm extremely interested in learning how to grade, and I will study that for the time being. I'm thinking the quarter is gonna be my coin of choice, as this is what started it all! Thanks a lot for all the input, I am really glad I found this site.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>BD[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
