Merry Christmas to everyone

Don't forget the rum too. People will always trade for some rum.

how about the Native American Dollar, from the 2018 Rev Silver Mint set.

Coin collecting is a hobby, at least for me it is. I do not have many slabbed coins. The few I have are worth the extra protection or of great sentimental value it was worth the money to me. As with any hobby the money and time spent is nothing compared to the enjoyment, I get form it. The TPGs have their place in the hobby, as dose their slabbed coins. I for one do not make registry sets, I do like to see what others make. Over time I have spent more one fishing then on coins, as I enjoy both, but I don't have a fish on my wall either. As a hobby coin collecting if fun and something I will pass on.

I have to say @The Neophyte Numismatistmakes a good point. As he stated there is two sides to a coin, in my eyes the fun side is the most important part. Others think it's the value part. I roll hunt every week, most of my collection, (excluding proof sets, mint sets, and ASE) is made up of coins I pulled out of circulation to make date sets as I learned more and more about coins and collecting them. I now exchange a coin from my collection for ones I find in better condition. I think last year I overspent but not on the coins them self, on books so I could have even more knowledge. I also spend a lot of time reading the post here. (I have learned more from the people here than any place) I can't get them to send me their book for free, (hint hint) but the give their advice freely. The best advice I ever got about coins and collecting them came from my dad many years ago, "no matter what someone else says a coin is worth, it is only worth what you are willing to pay for it." The time I spent looking for that 1958 cent with him, make that coin worth more to me then a 1909 S vbd cent. So, have fun, collect what YOU like, and show us what you find. Ask lots of questions, and dream big, but be realistic with yourself and your finds.

Let me start by saying sorry for your loss. I know 200lbs seems like a lot of coins, but once you start look at them you will be able to sort a lot of them really fast. Another thing to do if you have children make a game of looking at them. See who can find the most years and or mint marks each year. Fun times together and tell stories about your grandparents. If you buy each kid a coin folder they can work at filling it up and will always have good memory's. Even if they don't find a single coin that is worth more than a few cents it will be fun and a keep sake.

Mine is supposed to arrive on Saturday. Now if I only had a little faith in the USPS.

WoW another nice coin

Every thing I tell myself after a fuw sipe of home made wine sounds good at the time.

Nice find, I'm never that lucky.

Another of dads' coins. I was wondering about the grade of

I hope you are right @James Zyskowski. I have been collecting them. In the last 4 years the mintage has defiantly dropped. The 08 with the 07 rev. is still the rarest of them and the only one demanding any real premium. But maybe someday they all will.

Is in right field

I just wanted to say thank you. to all the people here helping us nebee collector. The knowable you shear with us, save me hour and hours of wasted time look at and trying to find out things. I would all so like to give a special thanks to a member that just gave me a coin to Compleat one of my collections. I intend to repay his gift forward by working with the boy scouts on their coin collecting merit badge. Joe
