[QUOTE="sketcherpbr, post: 490056, member: 15350"]I started actively collecting coins this year! I knew my family had a few coins left by my grand-uncle (?), and I decided that I'd like to pick up where he left off. This wasn't easy, considering I 1) had no idea where he left off and 2) had no idea about anything involving coins :D So everything that I have, excluding the few coins that were in my grand-uncle's collection, I picked up since July or August. Here are some of the things I've dabbled in so far.... Lincoln Cents (mostly wheaties, but a few memorials) A Franklin Half w/ Doubling on "America" A Two-cent piece (just bought it this week!) Peace dollars (3-4) Morgan dollars (2) A barber dime (in miserable condition, but it was cheap...probably a mistake) Ancients! (I think I have 11 now? love cleaning the dirty ones to see what they are) A few silver Quarters A Mercury dime A couple of proof Ikes A few Jefferson nickels A few buffalo nickels Large Cents (very recent, a couple of them still active on ebay) I think I'm going to continue collecting Large Cents. They're just too cool. And I think I'll go for a few flying eagles as well, if they're not too pricey....[/QUOTE]
