<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldstyyle, post: 1149674, member: 30291&quot;]My collecting experience is basically a 12 year old collecting wheat cents.&nbsp; Now that I&#039;m older and had my first child I have the sudden urge to collect coins again to hand down to my children.&nbsp; I need some advice on how I should be collecting.&nbsp; Here are the things I&#039;ve tried lately:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ebay:&nbsp; I have purchased some coin lots and individual coins to fill in my wheat cent books and silver dollar collections. I have moved on to buffalo nickels.&nbsp; I have the feeling I&#039;m getting ripped off on several of the auctions I have won that claim to be &quot;unsearched&quot;.&nbsp; 500 &quot;unsearched wheat pennys&quot; and not a single key date?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rolls:&nbsp; I have purchased a box of pennys ($25) and gone through each roll searching for key dates and errors.&nbsp; I managed to find a decent 1984 double ear/chin lincoln.&nbsp; I find this method a lot of fun but I can see it becoming very tedious and boring in the future.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Coin Shops:&nbsp; I find the shops around my area to be overpriced.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>US Mint:&nbsp; I have purchased a few mint sets including silver.&nbsp; I also purchased silver comemerative coins that will not see circulation.&nbsp; They are pricey but are they worth having in the long run?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In a nutshell, how do you collect?&nbsp; Any and all suggestions are appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
