I have always lived with the assumption that no one makes money collecting coins, circulated or not. This rule may not apply to everyone, but it has served me well.

greenprint Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 08/10/2012 5:08 pm i think collecting uncirculated coins might be a good investment and don't see how your rule applies. Certainly with todays circulating coins it's certainly debatable as to weather you can make any money off it. But if you bought a uncirculated set of "Indian Head Pennies" in 1910 you would make thousands maybe even millions today Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189010 Posts	Posted 08/10/2012 5:28 pm This may be true, but it is not my goal. I collect coins for fun, not profit. Of course, this does not apply to everyone. If your goal is profit, and you make a profit, then that is a success! It is just not my goal; and it should be known that people can collect without caring about future value. To each their own.

halfhunter Pillar of the Community United States 530 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 07:08 am Quote: What about proofs ? Surely you guys didn't find those. Im working on Kennedy halves with proofs dansco, Iv found 90% of the proofs from circulation believe it or not. IV found all the clad proofs except for the 2 from 1979, and 2 from the 2000's. Iv found the 1976 silver proof, and the 1969. I'm certain Iv found the sms coins also. the real stopper on me getting this set complete from circulation is the 1992 and newer 90% silver coins. I know I wont do it all from circulation, I am holding out hope for those last clad proofs though. I completed Jefferson nickels in 32 boxes, but I gave up and bought the last 4, 1950 d, (2) 1938, and (1) 1939. Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 8:11 pm I haven't found quite the sets that some of you have, but here in Canada we still manage to get a few U.S. coins in our change. I go for the nickels, and have managed to find just about all of them from 1969 up -- with the exception of the ones with mint-mark "S". Are the S-coins rare or harder to get? Or have I just been unlucky in not finding very many? Out of the hundred and fifty or so nickels I've found only 2 that are S-marked. And my rule is that I can't buy any off ebay or out of a coin shop; they've all got to be circulation finds. Personally, I think it's fun to try for the set this way, and marks a bit of a challenge. They'll never be worth a million but I don't care, it's all in the hunt and I love looking for them. Report this Post to the Staff
