As far as what to keep, you can never go wrong by keeping what you like, what you find interesting. If possible, please post a few photos to illustrate what you're thinking. Thanks.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/18/2020 02:58 am I ask myself about a coin, would I buy this coin? If the answer is no, it's put back into circulation without even a closer look. Damaged, bent, missing plating, zinc rotted and altered coins are just face value coins to me. Being a variety collector, I have something specific that I look for in circulation coins. Substandard coins go back to work quickly with me. Report this Post to the Staff
