<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1353772, member: 18157&quot;]To <b>jhsmith87</b>...I read your OP and glazed over some of the responses. I feel I have to apologize for my CT bretheren. Perhaps if I read everything, I might have a different opinion, but the little I read didn&#039;t seem to address your question.</p><p><br /></p><p>The answer to your question is...begin with <span style="color: #ff0000"><font size="3"><b>Lincoln Cents</b></font></span>.</p><p><br /></p><p>In an effort to get my co-workers interested in coins, I bought some cardboard albums and have them posted on top of the flippers in my cubicle (yes, I live in a cubicle <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). It was a joke initially, but then slowly people were checking their change and filling empty slots...or even upgrading coins already there!! We have the entire 1975-Present folder filled (mostly with Unc coins) and have the 1941-1974 folder about half filled. Someone even found a 1943 steelie in their change! </p><p><br /></p><p>This project has become a lot of fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I think Lincoln cents are the best way to go because they commemorate one of our dearest Presidents and the series will end in the not-to-distant future. The collector base for these coins will only grow (imho) and beginning this collection now, when the <b>Key Dates </b>are still affordable, is a must. </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><i><b>My advice is to get the very best NGC/PCGS graded <span style="color: #ff0000">KEY DATE </span>coins you can afford...then branch out from there.</b></i></font></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck and enjoy the journey! :cheers:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
