AlabamaDan Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 02/16/2009 2:01 pm Just getting back into collection from taking a 30 year break and I wonder where you find your coins. In the 1970s I pulled most of my collection from begging family members for their stuff or from circulation. Seems hard to find anything cool in circulation any more and I'd expect the coin shows/stores know what they have - that's why I never frequented them. So, short of grabbing a metal detector and pulling them out of ground, where do you find your coins? Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 02/16/2009 5:40 pm Welcome to the Forum, AlabamaDan, I'm afraid you are going to have to shop at the coin stores, or wait until you have 50 posts, and shop here,if you want to pick anything up. A lot of collectors on this forum have probably anything you would want. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 190135 Posts	Posted 02/16/2009 5:55 pm My recommendation is to find a coin show near you! Here is a good place to start looking: Coin Shows Coin Shows - Alabama Also, keep an eye on this forum for members' posts. A coin show has the advantage over the coin shop in that you can comparison shop. Spend some time, look around, there are bargains to be found!

rkp Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 02/16/2009 6:06 pm I buy most of my coins from 5 local dealers and some from e-bay. But as others have already mentioned, always be careful and when buying from e-bay. There are a lot of scammers out there. Report this Post to the Staff
AlabamaDan Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 02/17/2009 09:10 am Hmmm... interesting so you can get good deals from people who know? Right now my kids and I are roll hunting and it's fun. As we were going through some rolls yesterday my 7 year old looked up and said, "Daddy, exactly what are we looking for?" That's when I realized he needs a folder! Report this Post to the Staff
