ram96 Valued Member United States 417 Posts	Posted 06/25/2011 09:42 am We save silver, wheatie's, bicentenial quarters, family birthday years, and buffalo's nickels even new ones (think they are cool) and a couple of others. Guess you could hoard worse and be on the tv show Report this Post to the Staff
Eurocoin Valued Member Finland 294 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 06:57 am In my collection I have a principle: only one example per type. At the moment I have 1700+ coins in my albums and everyone is different by type (not by date). I leave all the low value commems in circulation and put the saved amount in new coin types . All the duplicate world coins I just sell away (or use on trips) in internet auctions. Easy money and free space at home! Edited by Eurocoin 06/27/2011 06:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

flotsam Valued Member United States 115 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 12:47 pm I can't say I hoard. If I ran into some silver I would definitely put that aside, but everything else is questionable. I keep at least one dupe of each State Quarter in hope that someday someone else will need one and I will be able to trade. Reality is I doubt there will ever be any numismatic value. But thinking about it I do hang onto all Kennedy dollars and I haven't figured out why Report this Post to the Staff
captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 06/28/2011 12:11 am I have a one roll limit for most dates for each denomination of circulation quality coins. Some dates I will have additional space to separate mints as well. When I roll search I will organise into dates and mints, search for varieties, and then I will pick the best coins I can from my roll finds and update my roll sets with the highest quality coins. I have one box of 100 tubes for pennies, two boxes of 100 tubes for nickels, and one box of fifty tubes for dimes. I also keep one box of fifty ROLLS of pennies, nickels, and quarters just to organise my pocket change when I get home. That way when a roll gets close to the top of the box I can just pull it out and pull the same year tube and search, compare, and resort. Whatever doesn't make the grade gets put back into circulation. Well, that's not true...copper pennies go into a large jug and pre-1960 nickels go into another jug Of course there are my BU roll collections too... Hmmm, I guess I am a hoarder.
