<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3241991, member: 66&quot;]For low income newbies just starting out, yes most definitely.&nbsp; Because all they really have for the option of supply is the coins that pass through their hands and possibly roll searching.&nbsp; Older or key dates don&#039;t show up,&nbsp; the modern series are all easily completed, so what&#039;s left?&nbsp; Errors and varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>When they are more experienced or their financial situation changes they may move on to something else but for the beginner with a small bankroll (Thinks $10 would be a BIG purchase!&nbsp; Been there myself.) what else are they going to look for?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Kurt, when you were 8, wheat cents were still common in circulation, finding those key dates was still possible,&nbsp; Buffalo&#039;s were still available and were mercury dimes, all the Washington quarters, Franklin and walking liberty halves, may even the occasional Barber coins or indian head cents.&nbsp; If you had the money you could get Morgan dollars at the bank all the way back to the 1800&#039;s at face value.&nbsp; Todays beginning collector doesn&#039;t have ANY of those options.&nbsp; If you were and 8 year old TODAY, with basically no free cash so all you have to look at is pocket change or the occasional roll, what would you look for?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
