met New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 11:19 am My dad had alot of coins, and I have recently started going through them. Alot of what he had were rolls of small dollars and halves, but mostly dollars- and mostly Presidential. I'm kinda torn about what to continue to search when I cash these in. Small dollars are kinda fun, but they don't look to be very lucrative. What are the thoughts on continuing to CRH dollars or another denomination or get into buying mint rolls and bags to look through? I guess I'm just thinking out loud.. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6483 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 12:07 pm I'm a fan of nickels myself. Zinc cents seem to deteriorate super fast, current dimes are often poorly struck on tired dies, and there are too many special quarters to get familiar with them all. There is a satisfying quality to a well struck nickel, particularly the older ones. Although it might be fun for a certain mindset to fill an album with State Quarters. Report this Post to the Staff

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2910 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 10:53 pm Well, with mint bags/rolls, you're pretty much limiting yourself to just high grade coins and errors... Unless that is really your thing, I wouldn't recommend going that route. You definitely get your most "bang for your buck" with nickels... far and away the most fun to search - V nickels, Buffaloes, War Nickels, Key-Date Jeffersons like the '39-D and '50D, and cool error coins make them my go-to. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Edited by John77 07/31/2023 10:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
