[QUOTE="Rookie, post: 97073, member: 4717"]After spending the last couple of days reviewing old posts and digging through the "junk" coins I have collected through the years, mostly from my days working in a grocery store 25 years ago, I think I have an idea where I want to start in collecting coins. It appears everyone collects in a different way and for a different purpose so I understand there is really no right/wrong way to go about this. I have always enjoyed the Kennedy halves and will begin my focus in that area and eventually work into the Franklin halves once I have some experience with grading. I currently have about $200 of old Kennedy's to go through. Most conditions not good but all silver or clad. Lots of Bicentennial. I also like the ASE so will pick them up as I can. And Ike's if for no other reason than to spend them, as some of you do, to get peoples reactions. Also, I was thinking as I was reviewing posts, that not many are fond of the new nickel for collection purposes. However, if the future of nickel design is moving away from pre 2003 wouldn't that mean anything pre 2003 could become something of value in the future...how ever long that may be. Just a thought. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions, especially as to Kennedy and Franklin Halves and also on my thoughts about the nickel. Thanks for reading and all the help I know I will receive on this site. R[/QUOTE]
