<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeff_75, post: 257717, member: 9668&quot;]Novice coin collector with two questions:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1) Can anyone suggest a good book to introduce me to the basics of U.S. coin collecting?&nbsp; My interest is two-fold.&nbsp; First, I really like coins.&nbsp; They&#039;re shiny and neat.&nbsp; Second, I&#039;d like to establish a collection that will be worth some money to my kids someday.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2) A relative of mine (now deceased, and perfectly sane, by all accounts) went out sometime around 1976 and bought several hundred dollars worth of 1972 pennies.&nbsp; Not uncirculated or mint issued; he just asked the bank to roll up as many 1972 pennies as they could find and he bought them.&nbsp; No one seems to remember why.&nbsp; They remain rolled and untouched in several boxes ever since.&nbsp; Any ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
