<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 2539377, member: 68"]No. Don't hang onto average coins. They made billions and average coins will be getting saved by many many people. Even if no one saves them there will be enough survivors from escaping the melts that typical coins will "never" be worth having. You'll lose money on the ones you save due to inflation. Even the nice Uncs I saved could have bought a loaf of bread back in 1975 but now bread costs five of them. </p><p> </p><p>However there are lots of great coins in circulation and I do set these aside. Varieties, better dates, and higher grades are often worth saving. The best bet for most people is to buy a few of the cheap Whitman folders and make a collection of the best coins they can find. If you do this just to have fun you can't lose because it's a ton of fun and you'll learn how to spot the really special coins. You might even make a nice profit on the special coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
