<p>[QUOTE="GunLocators, post: 11099, member: 1044"]I am starting to learn this can be fun and not cost a lot. I went to a local dealer today just to look. Said I wasn't going to buy anything. We bought a few holders I thought I needed. Then I remembered a BiCent Quarter and Half and a 1976 Penny. So I Picked A BiCent Dollar, 1976 dime and nickel and a 2 dollar note. The total was around 10.00 w/40 cardboard 2x2's and a 6 Coin Plastic Snap to hold the 1976 coins. So I have a circulated set and gave it to my 10 year old. The smile it brought was worth a $100.00. This gives us both something to do besides spending all our time at the gun range shooting. I think he is getting bored with that so what a way to introduce him to a new hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the way home I stoped by the bank and got a $2.00 roll of 2004 nickels we just finished sorting them. Out of 50 we found 3 that were really great so we threw them in a 2x2 and now he added that to his collection. So far his collections is worth $4.15 and he thinks he has a goldmine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also had to treat my self to a 2004 Proof set with all the coins but ordered that from the Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
