What Coins I Should Look For?

thats a good deal now I need to get the funds really quick. thanks wheatback

i might just do that. Thanks

My suggestion is to just go to banks and purchase as much change as possible. I mean pennies, nickels, dimes, etc. Then sit down with a book, like the Red Book, and start looking for coins you want or need. Also, look into the possible error coins as a hobby. For now why waste time with ebay or any place where you have to pay for coins. There are lots of coins floating around in change and this will give you something to do and for hardly any expendature.

I recommend taking it slow, and buying quality, not quantity. Coin collectors generally develop a continuous improvement philosophy pretty quickly, always trying to add better quality coins to their collection, eventually selling the lower grade coins that their new acquisitions replace. If you continue to collect for a few years with your current goal, you will accumulate a lot of coins that weigh a lot and take up a lot of space. Then when you try to sell them, you will have to deal with the bulk (if you sell them through the mail), or the shock of having a coin dealer offer you pennies on the dollar relative to what you paid.

If you want to buy multiple copies of a certain coin cheaply, get to a coin show at opening time and pick through the trays that the dealers put out of Buffalo nickels, Indian cents, etc., and only buy the few best in the box each time. Stay away from so-called "unsearched" rolls and bags. There is no such thing.

I recommend asking yourself a question that I ask myself every time I'm considering a coin purchase: "Would I have trouble selling this later?" If the answer is yes (because of poor eye appeal, damage, cleaning, etc.), don't buy it.

quality, not quantity. Cheapest always isn't the best.

Buy some silver lots, you might like it

So I'm attempting to make my collection better and I'm wanting to buy lots of coins (lots meaning more than 20 of a certain coin) so what kinda coins should I buy where I can get that many and not pay alot of money?

I like "Ikes." Get them at the bank for a buck. I agree to buy in bulk. More work to sort through, but lots of good stuff in the pile. Even silver sometimes.

Don't rule out your local newspaper classifieds and other local ads, I found a 96 year old selling off his collection, His ad read "10 Liberty V nickels $10 Over 100 years old", So I called and went over. I ended up getting 40 for $40. All were in good shape too and included was a 1912 D. I ended up buying some Mercury dimes as well. ebay can be good but don't count out other sources.
