[QUOTE="Coindoc, post: 2696846, member: 86462"]I've been searching bank rolls for 3 months since I retired. Have a bunch in flips. Mostly the ubiquitous flaws and errors that carry no premium. I have some in such good condition, they might be worth getting slabbed and put up for sale or auction. How did you start? Did you sell coins with the no-premium flaws and errors for 50 cents or a dollar? Did you get lucky and find a valuable coin in circulation? Did you buy coins at a low enough price to allow for resale at a higher price? Are you making a living selling coins? Or supplementing your income by even a small degree? Have you been searching bank rolls for so long that the mathematical probability is finally on your side and you periodically find a $500 or a $1000 coin? Of the options available, I'm wondering where to put more effort and where to put less effort. And which coins may provide a better chance at success; cents, nickels...etc. By reading about your experiences and how you got to where you are today, I'm hoping to gain knowledge and slightly more wisdom to help guide me down the coin path. My initial goal is to make a little beer money. Social Security is hard to live on. Thank you for taking the time to read this.[/QUOTE]
