<p>[QUOTE="miker, post: 53231, member: 3054"]My uncle started me with my first coin set in Lincoln cents. I could go to the bank, spend 2 or 3 dollars for rolls of cents, and have a good (and rewarding)time searching the rolls. I would think that even today you and your son could experience the same with Lincolns or with Jeffersons. Since your budget is limited, you might go with an 'I owe you' in the spot for key (read expensive) dates. But even if you purchased a 'fine' or 'good' key date, they wouldn't be too expensive. The 1938S (approx $3.00 for EF) and 1939D (approx $10.00 for EF) will be your most expensive non-error coins for the nickel. Good hunting to you and your son[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
