<p>[QUOTE="TyCobb, post: 3766344, member: 99137"]I think the initial reasons for getting into this was just flawed. CRH won't make you rich in monetary value as you probably have a better chance of hitting a jackpot playing the lotto than hitting that 1 special coin in a roll. The Error forum is actually sad sometimes because you get the feeling that the poster might be doing it because they need money and last resort is looking for anything in their pocket. </p><p><br /></p><p>As others have said, it is a hobby and CRH is a great way to start a simple collection. I'm still at the point where if it looks decent, I'm keeping it. Why? Because it's fun collecting and fun trying to find a better version in the next roll or box. Plus it's still money. I kept $1 worth of coins. Did I spend $1? No, I just moved it. 2x2s though? Yea... lets ignore materials as that's the real cost. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You won't get rich, but you can make money over time with CRH. Always ask for Customer Wrapped Rolls at the bank. Anything is possible in a customer wrap and you have the potential to get silver out of quarters and dimes. Bank wrapped nickels can still contain silver though so no problem, but it is rare. Another bonus, albeit morbid, is people die and some families just don't think and start rolling grandpas hoard of coins which could now be yours if the timing is right.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would just sit back and think what it is you are trying to accomplish and/or collect. Then use that as a starting point and go slow from there. You still get to hunt, work on your goal, and still have the chance at something extra. Just don't think about the potential value of every coin. That doesn't mean stop researching, but just understand the values listed versus the one you have in hand which the next step would be trying to learn how to grade your coin. That was the natural next step I took a month or two ago and it was the best thing I could have ever done. I wished I had started that last year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
