[QUOTE="DionHurst, post: 965558, member: 26482"]I searched and read a couple of post that were close but not quite spot on. Here's the deal: I started collecting as a child of 5 so the most of my coins were from circulated change. I spent about 10 yrs doing that, I would grab anything older than 1960 (just my date for old coins in the mind of a kid born in the mid 60's). As you know I acquired quite a few common coins and stopped really actively doing collecting, but never stopped hoarding coins that caught my eye. Flash forward 30 yrs and my interest is peeked again. So I've been going thru those hoarded coins and as you know unless I got really really lucky they are mostly common circulated coins. So what do you guys do with these? Do you keep them as more and more sell for melting (don't know if they actually melt them) hoping that one day they will get actual value? Do you sell them? I've considered giving them in Whitman folders to kids(nieces, nephews, & cousins) to see if they will get interested in collecting. They would be incomplete sets for them to complete. Speak![/QUOTE]
