Be careful with those ebay wheat rolls too! I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on them. Now I have tons of worthless wheats and a few ok ones that need upgrading. They were fun but for the money, I just should have boaght the individual coins I wanted for much less.

Thank you! Luckily I don't have a lot to spend so it hasn't gotten too crazy yet. But I got a lot of steels in them(5 or 6, they could be fake of course) and indians (5 maybe) now which makes me happy. I figure if they're worth 2 cents I'm pretty happy! I did spent a lot on one indian tho, paid full price.. around $28 bucks I think. But, that's the worst I've done so far as I learn.

Awww thanks so much!!!! That was very kind :) And yes, it's a really fun hobby even if I know absolutely nothing! lol. It's a whole new world to investigate!!!! I now feel like every single coin in my possession is a piece of treasure. It's fascinating! Have a great day! :)

Absolutely, and thank you. High mint states can be valuable in this coin but after submitting here for grading, it's not what I thought it was. I'm learning a lot!!! Thanks.

@New: Grad what it is 3x the value of buy + grad fees. The rest go by private sell.
