<p>[QUOTE=&quot;whopper64, post: 3448339, member: 101364&quot;]Ten years ago I retired and looking for a decent hobby (indoors), decided to start collecting Lincoln cents.&nbsp; So I went to the library, got some books on coins and read them.&nbsp; Then I started collecting them, opting for &quot;my budget&quot; coins and then upgrading them when I could afford it.&nbsp; At no time did I consider coin collecting as an investment, but as history that can be passed on to my daughters.&nbsp; If you put in the time and effort, it is fairly easy to rough grade Lincoln cents.&nbsp; I also learned at an early stage to stay away from &quot;error&quot; coins as they can drive you nuts.&nbsp; It&#039;s great to see many serious collectors on this blog and I enjoy the banter.&nbsp; What is a little frustrating are the rank amateurs who don&#039;t put in the time or effort before posting their common and &quot;of little value&quot; coins and asking for free help without doing any investigating on their own. Just venting.&nbsp; Enjoy the blog for the most part.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
