Message:: [QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 329807, member: 1242"]I agree that purchasing rolls or boxes of rolls from the Bank is the cheapest way to collect coins and at the same time, you can even make some money to support your hobby! Search the coins for known Errors and Varieties as well as the Dates and Mints that you need, keep those and return the rest to another Bank. At the same time, you might find Wheat and Indian Cents in Cent rolls...Buffalo, Liberty "V" and even Shield Nickels in Nickel Rolls and Silver coins in Half, Quarter and Dime rolls. In many cases, you may find enough Errors, Varieties, Silver and older coins to sell occasionally to support buying some coins that you need from a Coin Dealer or via the Internet. As quite a few of the coins in the rolls from the Bank will be AU to BU and you may get some BU rolls that have never been opened, the chance of finding some fairly high grade Error and Variety coins is pretty good. When you can purchase coins at face value, find quite a few AU to BU Error and Variety coins and sell them for $1 to $4 or more each, then you've got a pretty good gig going! Also, pick up a reliable but fairly inexpensive Metal Detector and Metal Detect as much as possible in your spare time. If you can locate some really good spots, then your finds will quickly pay for the Metal Detector and pay some of your coin collecting costs. Good luck! Frank[/QUOTE]
