<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jmferris, post: 2420252, member: 78421&quot;]It is interesting that you say that, recoinect.&nbsp; That is exactly how I started getting back into this hobby.&nbsp; When I collected as a teenager, it was mostly from circulation and reasonably obtainable 20th century coinage.&nbsp; When I started again, though, I knew that I wanted to collect but not what I wanted to collect.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started by lurking in the forums, and watching people talk about their latest acquisitions, and then started looking around a bit about what was on the market.&nbsp; Along the way, I made a few purchase that struck me as interesting, with absolutely no direction at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason that I gravitated towards where I did, is that I find a great combination of history, varieties, and affordability exist in 19th century half-dimes and dimes.&nbsp; Turning 40 this year, I figured that I should have a good amount of time to flesh these out and not have to rush to complete anything.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Realistically, I have come to accept that I am either going to need to go with low-grade fillers or just skip certain keys, explicitly.&nbsp; Understand that I do not represent everyone, but I am pretty okay with that, personally.&nbsp; That will not stop me from looking for them, though, because finding that &quot;incredible deal&quot; is part of the thrill for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had considered the &quot;Box of 20&quot; concept, at one point.&nbsp; Just is not for me, though.&nbsp; Definitely see the appeal in it, but there is just something about a full series that I enjoy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
