<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1325520, member: 33176"]Dang, I started collecting in the early 50's and sometimes want to cry about all the bags of Mercury Dimes, Standing Libs and Walking Libs I could have saved. Haven't really sold much, but getting re-interested in the hobby, I realized that I don't know how much I paid for most of the coins I have. It is a hobby and not really a money making one. With that said, it is still lots of fun to collect ----- anything. I know some people will supress a gag instinct, but get her started looking for state quarters, even circulated ones. They are still worth $0.25 and you can put them in some neat albums. Who knows where that may lead. As far as turning any kind of a profit, you shouldn't go wrong in buying proof sets, silver proof sets and uncirculated sets. Foreign and ancient coins are fun also with that 5/$1 box at most coin dealers (at least for foreign). Happy bonding![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
