<p>[QUOTE="tomfiggy, post: 2347298, member: 51884"]I'm retired after working all my life. My kids are pretty much grown. I have a rock band I play with, my wife still works so I shop, and cook a lot. Searching rolls is fun, and a lot less expensive than most hobbies. I look through a box a week more or less. I can go through a box in 8 hours now. So I set all the interesting ones aside, get the crud off, take pics, compare to known varieties. I'm not a wheeler dealer type guy except with guitars (I know the value of those). I don't want to search halfs, or quarters, and take a loss turning them in. I don't care about getting a little silver. Copper coins can be very beautiful, more so in my opinion than silver colored coins. So I lose about $2.75 per $25.00 to Coinstar. Every couple of months I buy a box of 2X2's for $8.00.When I get a really good one I send it to ANACS. When I get some I'm really unsure of I send them to Mike Ellis. I really appreciate the die varieties I have found. All I really care about are Lincoln Cent die varieties. When I get disgusted because I looked through 5 boxes and don't find anything and feel like giving up, I find a great coin, and I'm hooked again. haha[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
