<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 911995, member: 4552&quot;]MY suggestion is to not try either the Ike or Franklin coins. My reasoning is so far you have a collection that many could be found in change. Or from rolls or bags from a bank. Your chances of ever finding an Ike or Franklin coin without purchasing from a dealer is very, very slim. </p><p>If I were you I&#039;d try for a Lincoln Cent or Roosevelt Dime collection. Washington Quarters too are very accessable in normal change. Then as you accumulate them in mormal change, eventually you can upgrade to higher grades with purchases if you are still interested. </p><p>Not sure how old you are or how long you&#039;ve been collecting coins but as with many hobbies, some people loose interest for many reasons. With coins I&#039;ve found one reason for a loss in collecting is an ever increase in cost to complete a collection and those funds are just not available. Many younger individuals find many more important things to utilize thier money on as they become interested in them. For example members of the opposite sex or a car or computers and computer games. With a limited budget for spending, coins usually take a back seat to those more important items and the collection just gets shelved for now or maybe forever. </p><p>This is why I suggest a collection where purchasing most coins do not have to be purchased but can be more easily found in change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
