Message:: [QUOTE="texmech, post: 779310, member: 20068"]I apologize for saying something that has been said many times on this forum, but lately I have been just buying rolls of various denominations and pulling out what I need. last year I blew the dust off my collection from when I was a kid. I had a lot of coins up to 1970, when I stopped collecting. I think back then I realized that girls were more fun than coins, hence the cutoff. Anyhow last year I started filling in some of the holes before 1970. I have done pretty well and it has not been cheap. My wife has been pretty supportive, which is cool. The kids think I am a nerd though. So lately I have been really going after the post 1970 stuff, which is not so hard, it's just a matter of looking alot at pocket change, looking at my wifes purse change, getting the rolls from the bank, looking at tip jars, etc.  My point is getting this stuff which is chep is pretty fun. It's the thrill of the hunt and the kill, when you find a keeper. And it's easy. I have had a couple of home runs as well. The other day I found a 1999 Penslyvania S quarter.  This crazy hobby.[/QUOTE]
