Message:: [QUOTE="admrose, post: 1693295, member: 41909"]Tell them the only money you're spending is what you decide to keep. Stories always help, so here are my findings for the year: Lincoln cents (71,150 searched): 7 x 1998 Wide AM (each worth $3-$35 based on grade AU-MS64; sold three AU, but dirty, ones on eBay for about $7)2 x 2000 Wide AM (each worth about $2, though if you find a really, really nice MS64 its about $15)2 x 1995 DDO #1 (each worth at least $20)1971 DDO #1 (worth at least $65 in VF)1960-D RPM #056 (minor variety, worth $1-$2)1961-D RPM #028 (minor variety, worth $1-$2) That doesn't include error cents. I sold a 1953-D (from a wheat roll) missing the "I" in LIBERTY for $23. To your specific case, Jefferson Nickels are a good place to start. They're cheap, no real "key dates" to speak of and you can pretty much find the whole series in rolls if you look long and hard enough. Take a look at this almost-BU 1938 I found in a roll - 75 years old and the first date of the series and it still looks good! Or this gem 1958-D Lincoln I just found yesterday - thats easily an MS63-MS64. Not gonna promise you the world, but if you work at it you'll make some good and profitable finds yourself.[/QUOTE]
