I had previously stashed older coins over the years but never really collected anything. Just coins from change.

I now have a collection that I am trying to learn as much as I can about. I have mint sets in uncirculated, proof, and silver from today back to 1950 (missing 2020s). Also completed sets of BU and proofs of each denomination back to 1930, except for 2012 to date since they stopped collection in 2012. My goal is to bring all the dominations up to date thru today. Then I will focus on the older stuff. Most of the pre-1930's is circulated with a few scattered proofs. From my crude evaluation based on photos from a book on grading most of the older coins, range from fine to AU with some maybe higher, but then again I'm new.
