stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 10/09/2006 08:34 am Looking at my desk yesterday. A coin graveyard. What does everyone do with these. I know that most go back into the albums. What happens to ones that carry little or no premium? Small die gouges, over polishing, meaningless die cracks, etc. Are they released back into circulation for someone else to discover or if they are kept, how would you even begin to organize them?

Errorcoins Member United States 703 Posts	Posted 10/09/2006 10:38 am I put the good stuff in my collection. They rest goes into a box for sale on ebay someday. An error is an error and someone will want it. Report this Post to the Staff

Noxx Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 10/09/2006 12:12 pm I've only been collecting for a short while, but I'm an avid buyer, and I've already got a good sized candy dish of coins I bought then decided weren't worth the bother. I figure I'll save them for a niece or nephew or some other young collector who might value them beyond their hard worth. Report this Post to the Staff

At least everybody that I know has the same situation. Each person deals with it in a different fashion, but it's all the same when it comes to collecting coins. Fun isn't it!

gnome Valued Member Australia 372 Posts	Posted 10/09/2006 8:42 pm I give them to my cousin's young bloke who has just started collecting. He has scored pretty well out of me so far. No varieties or errors yet. He is only 10, and I get a kick out of watching his face. We have only just completed his 2001 state commemerative 50 and 20 cent collection from circulation. Was waiting on the final coin which was a South Australian 20c. Excess world coins I give to another young collector. Report this Post to the Staff
