<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneycostingmemoney, post: 2782032, member: 86367&quot;]First off, Welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p>I had to select all of the above. I CRH, strap-search, troll eBay, go to LCS (even when I&#039;m traveling) and coin shows. Each gives their own sense of enjoyment. I agree with all the statements by other members above. </p><p><br /></p><p>Depending on which avenue of collecting you are into depends on the best route to take. I get a kick out of CRH and strap-searching and have found some really neat stuff. Last week I found a 1913S T1 along with a 43S and 45S war nickels, different rolls, but the best $20 in MWR I&#039;ve ever picked up. </p><p><br /></p><p>eBay is a place to be careful, like [USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER] said, but if you&#039;re patient enough and spread yourself across a few areas at a time you&#039;ll make out here and there. You can find deals on slabbed and graded examples if you&#039;re patient, but get a good feel for what is counterfeited and what is safe before you spend too much money on raw coins there. I made the mistake early on of buying I searched rolls of coins. Peace dollars, Mercury dimes and wheats put me back around $1k and after I picked out what I wanted it took a lot of work to get that back. Unsearched rolls are like scratch off tickets- a bad investment of money and time. </p><p><br /></p><p>I find Pawn shops to be a good place to check out. If you really know a coin type you can, sometimes, make out well with finding VAMs and oddities that the owner didn&#039;t pick up on. If you can form a good relationship with the shop owner they can put you on the call list for when coins come in. </p><p><br /></p><p>I look forward to seeing you share your finds and experiences on here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
