Check your pocket change often. Good coins are still out there. Just check the "Interesting Coins Found In Circulation" thread.

There's nothing wrong with doing what a lot of us did in the "Old Days," and that was buy Whitman folders are start to collect coins of interest by date.

Collecting Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels, the Statehood Quarters, and JFK's is boring to some people, but not to me. I have several completed collections, and when I find high quality, or older coins, I set them aside for kids and gradkids who hopefully will start to collect one day soon.

Hi Buffaloboy

If you can find a local coin club to join, where you can meet other collectors and have someone who can spend time with you ,help you see the difference in grades of the coins,get information about many different coins ,,see some of the coins that you have only seen in books up close !! maybe even go to the coin shops or like most coin clubs have a coin board where you can buy coins from other club members ,,

coin clubs are an excellent resource for the young collector!!

One other thing,, when I was in school High School, there was a coin club at the school, all people my own age, I'm not sure if the schools still offer this type of thing, but it would be worth checking out when school starts up again,, If no club is already started and operating, perhaps the school would allow one to start? maybe there are more kids your own age who would become interested and you could start the coin club for your school ?
