<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2801384, member: 24544&quot;]Welcome OP!&nbsp; When first started in this hobby I believe my first, maybe second, was a batch of &#039;Unsearched&#039; rolls from ebay.&nbsp; I also did the coin roll hunting from my bank for a while.&nbsp; Both seemed like cheap ways into the hobby, especially as someone who did not have a strong interest or specialty.&nbsp; With a couples years of collecting under my belt, I will give you some suggestions.</p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;Unsearched&#039; rolls from ebay/amazon are never un-searched.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin roll searching, where you buy rolls at face from your bank is a great way to start a collection on the cheap, just built a relationship with the head teller or whomever does the coin ordering.&nbsp; There are endless things to search for in all denominations.&nbsp; I made sure at least one bank I belonged too had a coin counting machine I could use for free so I could dump the coins with no hassle.&nbsp; I searched every denomination, but eventually grew tired and lost interest.&nbsp; The pick up and return process was a pain, and the &#039;pay-off&#039;&nbsp; was just not that high.</p><p><br /></p><p>I quickly got past the beginner stage of the hobbt, found a couple areas to specialize, and have never looked back.&nbsp; The only other advice I have is to enjoy yourself!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
