[QUOTE="clembo, post: 422035, member: 8033"]An excellent question. I do need to start buying more books actually but money is an issue and have access to tons at work. Don't think it will last forever though as the boss is 65 and we have NO clue what he'll do when he decides to hang it up. I do tend to buy better coins when buying. Better grade, better dates for a better resell price should I need it. Of course better is a relative term for all of us here. I still buy cheap stuff too but only because I work in a shop. Been messing with quarters a lot as of late. I'll buy Standing Liberties in full F12 or better, Barbers for the set I'm "toying" with and better grade earlier Washingtoins. These, except the Barbers, I generally try to turn fast and get the Barbers for free basically. I've also picked up 2 really nice Lincoln Cents in the past week. 1935 and 42-D. Not rare dates but REAL blazers. Would love to keep them but have a local buyer so probably going to get rid of them and make a few bucks. Yes, a trend developing here. I"m currently not in a position to be buying the stuff I REALLY want but if I can add to my collection for "free" I'll keep pecking away. EVen "cheap" coins are good if you can get them for free. As for copper. Sounds like you have a heck of a collection. Not easy to put together and there is a lot of under rated stuff in that category. Anyone that has ever dealt with it knows.
