<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Christobal, post: 2132994, member: 74392&quot;]Hi stldanceartist,</p><p><br /></p><p>LCS being... local coin shows?&nbsp; I haven&#039;t been to a coin show in probably 30 years.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually I had put my collecting on hold until about a year and a half ago.&nbsp; I started with pennies, who doesn&#039;t, but always saved all old coins.&nbsp; Then my Dad got back into his collecting and was showing me his finds and I got my passion back.&nbsp; Been going through rolls ever since.&nbsp; Maybe a box every other week.&nbsp; It&#039;s great fun, actually, but so few of my friends and family can understand the passion!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;ve started a buffalo nickel book now too, as I&#039;ve found maybe 15 of those.&nbsp; And a Canadian nickel book.&nbsp; It does get to be an obsession.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I have books for all current mint coins, I really enjoy nickels best.&nbsp; You never find silver quarters, dimes, or halfs at the bank, so those are less exciting to collect.&nbsp; With nickels, you can find most of the jeffersons and some buffalos in circulation.&nbsp; I even found a liberty nickel last year (1883, No Cent).</p><p><br /></p><p>I probably should go to a coin show.&nbsp;&nbsp; Guess I feel that would take some fun out of the hunt, though.&nbsp; Being circulated, most of my coins are very worn.&nbsp; Probably they&#039;re not worth much.&nbsp; But I found them for $0.05 and you can&#039;t beat that!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
