<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 91653, member: 4552&quot;]I&#039;ve been doing just that with the bank thing for almost 30 years now. It&#039;s a great way to have something to do on a cold winter knight if you live in an area that has them. If your basically new to coin collecting, that is a great way to get started for a very cheap price. However, you may want to invest a little and buy a Red Book on coins. It&#039;s really a great investment. If your limited in what to spend for such books, try yard/garage sales, flea markets or used book stores for a one or two year old edition. I&#039;ve seen them for as little a $1. For pennies, try coppercoins.com web site and if you have the money buy his book &quot;Looking Trough Lincolns&quot;. There are other web sites available for free to determine the value of coins. I&#039;ve always had great luck with going to a bank and buying a $50 dollar bag of pennies, looking though them, returning the rest to a different bank. I live in an area where there are so many banks it gets rediculous trying to figure out which one to go to next. With other coins such as half dollars I usually get about $100 worth but spend them because it&#039;s fun to watch the look on people&#039;s faces that have never seen one. I do that with $2 bills also. I now have 10 complete sets of Lincoln Cents and only recently had to purchase a coin to rather complete one of the sets. I do the same with nickels, dimes, etc. I&#039;ve been putting coins in Whitman Classic Albums for well over 50 years and sure is fun doing it the cheap way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
