<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 269409, member: 4552"]I agree with that system completely. As you do it this way you'll notice a feeling of accomplishment. At first lots of coins will seem like a lot of coins. A key date once a year will get really boring. Even at twice a year addition is boring. If you start out with a pile of coins to start the collection, it's like that movie, they will come. I suggest you start visiting coin shows if possible. My greatest idea is always the garage/yard/estate sales. The thing there is you have to ask. If you do not ask, you'll never see any coins. People will not put them out. You have to ask. If they have some old coins they normally would rather end up taking them to a bank. If you ask, they may just go in and get them for you. Who knows, you could fill an entire book in one big find. Just remember, you have to ask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
