I think they are worthwhile to save, if it is significant enough. I guess if you look through thousands of coins each month, you'll find a ton and then they aren't worth saving, except the really big ones. Report this Post to the Staff

I know of a collector that regularly buys them. Not at huge premiums, but premiums nonetheless. Report this Post to the Staff
