KEEP the PROMISE! Hang on to all coins until you define your goals. Spend/sell the excess to obtain one or two nice examples. The choice will be yours. Above all, make it FUN!

Do I just wanna look for non circulated or can a circulated set be worth going after and is it better to shop of the internet or are coin shop around the same pricing Totally up to you. I started collecting nickels when I was a kid. I picked the best circulated ones I could find in change. Then each year I would try to find the new year in change while relatively unworn. There were older years that I could not find in change. Those I had to buy. At that point you have to decide if you want to pay circulated (like F or EF prices) or mint (MS60 and so on). It will depend on your budget at that point. I have bought a few coins from dealers but have started using ebay six months ago and like that but more experienced collectors can tell you the pros and cons of on-line vs. the human touch.

Barrie Valued Member Canada 227 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 12:13 pm Beware freemike... beware. I started collecting nickels back in the mid-50's and soon found that once started I couldn't give up the habit... here a nickel, there a nickel, here another one and on and on it went. Then, I wish I had started thinking but didn't, so I added pennies to my pursuits. Then, guess... you're right, along came a passion to get at the dimes and that was soon followed by a fixation to gather quarters. I became obsessed with amassing coins upon coins upon coins. Now, I have so darn many coins I'm thinking of starting a reality TV show... The Canadian Coin Hoarder. Gawd only knows what troubles that will bring. Oh yeah... have fun.

garys64wildcat Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 12/03/2013 12:07 am I started back in the 50`s with my paper route and a customer would go through my change. So I figured there must have be some logic there, so I started collecting. I moved closer to BC and got an awful lot of Canadian coins that people here didnt save and have been it ever since. Great hobby and You will never go broke Report this Post to the Staff
