<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usc96, post: 904786, member: 25676&quot;]That makes good sense Mike.&nbsp; I think we will hold off on the big dollar coins until we get a better feel for the market.&nbsp; There is a coin show in August, so that might be a good place to look for some of the pricier coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What we&#039;ve been doing so far is putting the coins we already have (from when I was a child, and various ones I&#039;ve picked up over the years like the gold coins) in the 7070, and then buying proof and BU versions of contemporary coins on ebay or the coin club auction.&nbsp; For example, we picked up a proof bicentennial set with certificate of authenticity from the Mint for $17 on ebay and filled 3 spots.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Luckily we could fill three of the large cent spaces with coins my dad found on some land he owned before he passed away.&nbsp; I bought him a metal detector and he found 50 - 100 coins (mostly large cents) from the 1800s in the ground under what was once the city&#039;s bus station.&nbsp;&nbsp; They are not the prettiest specimens, but from looking on ebay, it appears condition is relative in the large cent series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
