How do you fill your album books?

Do you buy the coins one at a time (Ebay, coin shops, etc.) or do you buy old lots of coins (rolls, or buy the pound, etc.), semi-completed albums from estate sales, or do you just watch your pocket change and hope that rare old 1816 quarter you needed will just pop up one day?

I complete mine mostly through buying from eBay and from trades hear on coin talk.

 

Coin shows, B&M stores, and Ebay are what I usually use.

 

I know you are joking...but I really don't think that's funny.

 

LoL. I don't do coin shows. They conflict with women's schedules, gun shows and tool shows.

I buy other folk's semi completed albums (often Ebay) then cherry pick what they accomplished before death, or like last week, just buy 4 pounds of wheat pennies and 3 'unsearched' rolls of silver dimes. Then while waiting for next season's 'Walking Dead' I will have something to do.

 

I buy semi completed set , lots , single coins, raw coins @ shows and a few other places..
like local shops and such

 

carefully.

 

Well about 2/3 were my inheritance from my father and grandfather . A lot of auctions and as a partner in a coin shop.

jealous I always wanted to work in a coin shop

 

i would say 90% ebay and 10% shows.

 

Pocket change.

 

One at a time. Primarily only collecting bullion coins to put in albums, so eBay, and the other silver stores.

 

After I eat a bucket of fried chicken I push them in the albums with my greasy fingers!!

 

Mostly through coin shop one at a time. I have bought a few from Ebay but I like to physically see the coin before I buy it and some photos do too much justice or not enough. Been on a holiday spending break will buy my next 7070 coin after the holidays.

 

That's how you get them toners

 

Heritage, dealers, ebay - some raw, some cracked out.

 

Most come from eBay, but I've bought coins for less through Heritage before, believe it or not.
