<p>[QUOTE="pcalvert, post: 1594959, member: 42628"]As I was walking to the coffee shop (I usually go there to look through boxes of coins or I fill my coin books up there.) I Suddenly thought to myself how can I get more coins? In the previous weeks I have bought 1,200 wheat pennies from some guy on Craigslist, looked through $300 in my neighbors change, and have been coin roll hunting! I love "Treasure hunting" and I get this mini rush when I find something cool! I have only been collecting for two to three months and I have a pretty good collection. (My collection includes a 1941-1974 Penny book that's filled; Also have another one I am close to completing, two Jefferson nickel books 1938-1961; One is filled the other is missing 8 coins but I have two very nice 1950 D Nickels in the books, 1913-1938 Buffalo Nickel book about a third filled, 1909-1940 wheat penny book; includes a 1909 V.D.B. penny, a 1958 BU wheat penny, a 1868 two cent piece, a 1868 three cent nickel, some V-nickels, a 1858 O Half Dime, a Canadian large cent from 1895, a U.S. large cent from 1845, a bunch of tubes filled with 1938-1959 Jefferson nickels, and some other coins!) </p><p><br /></p><p>My teacher has been selling me some coins and I always hear about him getting shipments of coins to look through or him finding someone in town with a jar full of wheat pennies. I wish I could get these deals! So I have made a plan! I currently have a job making $10 a hour and that pretty much supports my social life and money to buy coins. I have decided to open a new savings account at Star bank. (This will be my coin funds bank. I have a another bank that I will use to dump my coins. I have an account there to.) I would put a base of $15 a week into the coin funds account and I could add extra money (Which I most likely will!) if I wanted to. My dad will also be putting money into this account! Once we get a good amount of money in there I will start coin roll hunting a lot more! The big idea is finding people that will let me and my dad look through their change. I plan to post a ad on Craigslist to help me find people that have jars of change. (We would meet at the coffee shop I routinely go to.) I also thought about getting some business cards that I can hand out and put a stack at some businesses. What would I do with the coins I buy? Well I'll keep some and sell/trade the others on Craigslist or at coin shows. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any advice? I would really like to get into the coin business.
