[QUOTE="Berit, post: 3701916, member: 106902"]Sounds good. Thanks. I would love to start this for myself and my son. But I do have a few questions. Basically I'm looking for some suggestions/advice on how to go about this. I don't have much of a collection to use, although I do have some I can use. So I would have to purchase many of them. Especially the older ones. I have and will do more bank roll hunting for the more recent coins but I'd like to go back to mine and my husband's great-grandparents as much as possible (we do have the genealogy on most of them to make that possible). But that means going back to the 1860s for the oldest one. So what is a reasonable $ to spend for the early penny/nickel coins? Or am I better off sticking with silver dimes (as much as possible) due to the silver content? These are for the older date-specific coins, of course. How do I strike a balance between decent coins (not cull or so badly worn you can hardly tell what they are) and keeping it affordable? I don't want junk - but I also need to keep the costs under control. And no, there is no rush, so I can do it a bit at a time... but I'm very much a novice collector so any assistance is appreciated. Thanks Berit[/QUOTE]
