 to CCF! I'm also from the Buckeye state. Coin collecting certainly has many ultra wealthy participants but there are also many coin series that are quite affordable. You could also try coin roll hunting which requires quite a bit of effort but enables collectors to get coins at face value. Edited by Joe2007

What I meant by the wealthy thing was that the only time I ever noticed anything about coins was that a coin was sold for a large amount or something like that. Just never knew older coins were just readily available. What got me hooked was the fact that I almost spent an 1857 quarter at the gas station and I have no idea where it came from. Just crazy that coins that old are still floating around.

to CCF. The quarter is commonly called "Seated Liberty" or "Liberty Seated" and the same design was used for 5 denominations, from the Half Dime to the dollar. There is even a club devoted just to the study of Liberty Seated coins. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

Welcome from another Ohioan!
You will find all kinds of collectors here, from those who never spend more than face value for coins to those who invest a decent sum and all manner in between. Coin collecting can be as expensive or as cheap as your interests decide.

Wimpy!! Wow...7 children at 33! I can speak for many collectors...I am FAR from wealthy and yes old coins are available in masses. When you have a little time I would suggest for you to purchase a paperback " Red Book" Great info source for old and new collectors alike  |

Joe, I actually got $25 dollars worth of cents yesterday. My wife and kids have kind of laughed at my new interest, especially when I requested the cents.....but, my wife stopped by the bank on her way home and when she told them she beeded $45 dollars and $25 of it in pennies, the woman smirked and said, you do know that a lot of pennies right? My wife said yes and that they were for her husband who found a hobby and hes wanting to search through rolls. My wife and ALL of the tellers had a good laugh about it. So when she got home with them, the kids thought I was crazy, so they naturally joined in. Found a few wheats, including a 1943. So already making great memories after only 2 weeks.
