<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2368503, member: 15019"]The best investment you can make is to familiarize yourself with worthwhile varieties. For example, both volumes of the Cherrypicker guide. If you look through a lot of pocket change and older coins in coin shops and are endowed with the knowledge of how to spot these varieties, the books will pay for themselves rather quickly. </p><p>I don't look through my change much, but after I bought this guide, I looked through a jar of change I had been emptying my pockets into for some time. Found two 1972 DDO cents, sold one for $40 and the other for $72, along with a bunch of minimal value varieties. That more than paid for the books right there.</p><p>If you don't mind branching out to foreign coins, there are many modern (1950's-present) coins with very small mintage that can be had in mint state for very little money, I'm talking like $5 or even less in some cases.
