<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 3024667, member: 93888&quot;]Hi All,&nbsp; just joined the forum here a few days ago and I&#039;ve already been doing a lot of reading on here.&nbsp; I joined for a couple of reasons.&nbsp; First a quick background.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been a casual collector since I was a kid, my grandmother has worked for Littleton Coin for over 40 years, I worked there right after high school for a short bit, and my wife worked there processing orders for a couple of years.&nbsp; Now, that being said, probably 90% of my collection is from circulation. I also recently got interested in metal detecting and locating old silver coins which prompted me to dig back into my collection while I wait for the snow to melt.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I say all this to bring me to the part where I decided I should get a little more serious about my collection. It&#039;s a bit overwhelming however, I&#039;m a bit compulsive with organization so I&#039;ve tried to come up with a system of organizing things that won&#039;t empty my wallet. I have probably a dozen or more folders and I had planned to move them to 2X2&#039;s placed into pages and put into binders.&nbsp; That&#039;s not cost effective on pennies, nickels, or most other circulated coins worth only face value.&nbsp; But, I may still go that route for everything over a nickel or anything deemed to have some value or chance to appreciate.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also enjoy coin roll hunting and searching circulated coins, but I want to add pieces to my collection that I both enjoy and will also appreciate over time.&nbsp; So I guess what I&#039;m looking for is some advice and or stories from people about taking the leap from casual collector with coins not worth much to a more serious collector with something I can sell years down the road when I retire or pass on to my kids. As is often the case for people, money is usually tight so buying lots of silver isn&#039;t something I&#039;ll be doing anytime soon.&nbsp; I know this is a really open ended question but just looking for a feel of what roads I can take and how to start down them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the lengthy post, I tend to ramble sometimes (this is part of how I get overwhelmed, lol )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
