Message:: [QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1330807, member: 23626"]I've been searching them for awhile now and been fortunate not only to find some extremely scarce varieties, but to make a really good friend out of it. He has taught me a lot about cents and is one of the leading contributors to the "world" of cent collecting with several discoveries. To me, that is the real value. But if you are going to search, there seems no point in not hoarding. I happen to separate by year and mint into reused paper tubes and sort boxes by decade. No way to get rich, but it doesn't deprive the budget much to toss a few dollars of cents aside each week and it starts adding up quickly. First a roll or two, then a box. True, they aren't worth much, but I don't consider it a wasted effort. I already found a 1988 D RDV-006, a few DDO's and RPM's. Some clip planchets, etc. It's a thrill to stumble across something ! I guess what I am trying to say is that it may not be all about the money. Some things are just fun to do. This hobby is one that doesn't cost anything. Sure, you can spend a lot on supplies, coins and stuff, but you don't have to. Some reused plastic jars, a little on-line research learning what to look for, and an effort. Who knows, maybe you will find the next $40,000 cent ? All this at no monetary risk. Doesn't seem to get much better than that. IMHO gary[/QUOTE]
