JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 9:24 pm Might I suggest U.S. Halves (Kennedy, Franklin, even WL's); I don't think you have to pay a fortune for some good BU examples, and I think the Dansco albums are really nice, and visiting a few coin shows could get you some decent prices.

3stooges Pillar of the Community United States 511 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 12:18 am I like small (quarter size or smaller) pre-1940 world silver coins, Canadian nickels and British farthings and half pennies. All of the above can be collected on the cheap. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 7:33 pm I too suggest that you go for copper at the moment. Wheat cents can be fun if you just want to focus on US coins. But some of my favorite coins, no matter how bullion metals are doing, are Canadian large cents and British large Pennies. They are extremely pretty, and some nice examples may be found for cheap. (And once in a while they may be found in discount bins). Report this Post to the Staff

Why would anyone want a coin with sharp details, sceenery, native animals, intricate designs when they could have a DEAD Presidents face on all their coins. Report this Post to the Staff
googoo Valued Member United States 466 Posts	Posted 08/14/2011 10:16 pm I am around the same kind of problem as you are. I recently got into collecting Buffalo nickels since the Mercury dimes I was going to start working on began to climb in value with the silver prices I figure I will wait on many of the older silver sets while silver is high and concentrate on the other sets that stay fairly constant in price over the short term I could for instance buy a merc dime for 3 dollars, silver melt and a few months later get the coin for 2 dollars I could buy a Buffalo nickel for 3 dollars and a few months later the coin will still be 3 dollars I just hope silver doesn't climb high I am not a silver collector, I am a coin collector so I just want to get coins at collector value, not high silver melt value Report this Post to the Staff
