<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spy88, post: 11016, member: 968&quot;]I have in the past, and will always do so in the future, recommend collecting Jefferson nickels as a way to get into the hobby of numismatics.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because there isn&#039;t a single other series where you can go to the bank, buy 1, 5, 50 or more rolls, take them home, spread out the coins from each roll on the kitchen table, and spend time with your sons/daughters looking for (here is the KEY) and <i>finding</i> just about every date/mm to get them well started on a album with very little out-of-pocket expense.&nbsp; From here, you discuss and grade each one you find.&nbsp; No other US coin series can be done this way or as cheaply <i>or as fun!</i>&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I work in a casino here in Vegas.&nbsp; I used to routinely take home $100 bags or 50 rolls of nickels to search thru.&nbsp; I found just about every year and/or every mm for the series including a 1939 DDR.&nbsp; Granted they will not usually be in the best of condition---but you&#039;d be surprised how good some of them will be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you are comfortable grading Jeffersons, you can use this to base branching out to buying the ones you can&#039;t find or wish to upgrade.&nbsp; From there, into other series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
