Message:: [QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 8215774, member: 92655"]Well, here’s the deal….. I started filling a Lincoln cent book in the 1960’s. Wheat cents were like solid gold to this kid. There was a very small coin dealer between my house and school and I was in his door most every day after school with my lunch money. He had a giant jar of wheat cents that cost me three for a nickel as I recall. I was in heaven. Then I took a newspaper route so I could buy real dream coins like worn slick V-nickels and barely readable Indian head cents. Again, heaven had touched me…… Fact is, I was a happy and content coin collector on a major budget most all of my life. It hasn’t been but the last dozen years or so that I have afforded myself some of the better coins that I have dreamed about since the 1960’s…….. Absolutely routine coins can find a happy home in anybody’s coin collection. Some of the most mundane coins in any dealers junk bucket kept me a happy collector for thirty years. That is the best thing about our hobby. You simply cannot do it wrong![/QUOTE]
