<p>[QUOTE="JJK78, post: 900012, member: 19207"]I think that everything said so far is pretty much on the money, but I can tell you one thing noone else has. A few years ago I was in the EXACT same position you are... baseball cards not doing it for you any more and really becoming a huge waste of money. $100 for a box of card for a few interesting inserts but if you don't get a big one all you are left with is a box of cardboard. what a dissapointment!</p><p>Roll searching / coin collecting is DEFINITELY for you!!! The hunt for rolls can be a little more difficult depending on how nice the people at your local banks are, but personally I get much more satisfaction after going through a box and still having a pile of money in stead of a bunch of wrappers!! </p><p> </p><p>Not to mention the "diamond in the rough" factor... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I found this 1981 in one of the first boxes of pennies I went through - not worth a million bucks but just as good as anything I ever pulled out of a pack of baseball cards! </p><p>I personally haven't gotten a cherry pickers guide yet but check for the Redbook ones and am pretty satisfied with that... although I may invest in the guide soon<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But I also keep all my pre-83 pennies and pre-1970 nickles so I have plenty to go through once I decide to get it<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>ENJOY![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="JJK78, post: 900012, member: 19207"]I think that everything said so far is pretty much on the money, but I can tell you one thing noone else has. A few years ago I was in the EXACT same position you are... baseball cards not doing it for you any more and really becoming a huge waste of money. $100 for a box of card for a few interesting inserts but if you don't get a big one all you are left with is a box of cardboard. what a dissapointment! Roll searching / coin collecting is DEFINITELY for you!!! The hunt for rolls can be a little more difficult depending on how nice the people at your local banks are, but personally I get much more satisfaction after going through a box and still having a pile of money in stead of a bunch of wrappers!! Not to mention the "diamond in the rough" factor... :) I found this 1981 in one of the first boxes of pennies I went through - not worth a million bucks but just as good as anything I ever pulled out of a pack of baseball cards! I personally haven't gotten a cherry pickers guide yet but check for the Redbook ones and am pretty satisfied with that... although I may invest in the guide soon:) But I also keep all my pre-83 pennies and pre-1970 nickles so I have plenty to go through once I decide to get it:) ENJOY![/QUOTE]
