Better to stock your freezer with negotiable beef, chicken and ham.
----- Oh, and add a big pile of electrons to run that freezer.
Don't forget the rum too. People will always trade for some rum.

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.

Thanks a lot guys! Looks like I’ll have to pick up a red book and get to work. I really wasn’t expecting any sort of value but there are just so many, over 200lbs worth, I just have no idea what to do with them all. I’ll get going sorting them, take some photos and update the thread. Thanks again!
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.

It would be great to have a thread pinned to the top of the newbie section with several examples of damaged coins. Give them something to compare theirs to before they post. Give explinations and examples of possibilities. And tell them theirs didnt leave the mint looking like those. Just a thought. May not be a very good idea. Sounded good while I was thinking about it. It may be boring and some may think its not very useful. I dont know if it good or not really. Sounded good after a couple sips of homemade wine.
Every thing I tell myself after a fuw sipe of home made wine sounds good at the time.

The 2019 mintage 138,000 ,several years 150,000. They are way mis-understood and my pick to be the sleeping giant. Just my 2 cents 😉
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.

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.

. Although the deals are not as common as they were 6 months ago and hardly ever for pre-1964 coins or SMS Nickels. My set will never be as nice some of the other guys or Lem's that is one amazing nickel set. Mine will be a middle of the road set If I can keep getting the good $$ deals.
Man, as long as you like it and it makes you happy, that all that counts. That how I feel about colleting. Some people will never collect copper others will never get ASE, some are all over the place, it don't matter as long as that's what they like. I'm not saying that I would not like to have high end graded coins, but that is not really excites me. Find a nice filler coin for one of my albums, that puts a smile on my face for a week.

Are you trying to put a complete set together?
I just need one more and mine will be complete. I look at least 10 rolls a week, but don't even see many P or D for the one I need. GRRRRRRRRRRR

Dad seems to have just got coins he liked, no rhyme or rhythm or follow through on anything. I can see where he thought something might be worth something someday, (1976 proof sets, 1999 proof sets), but other I think he got just to say I have a coin. This is one of the I have a coin.

I am a 3 cent fan, too. Nice collector piece.
I don't think any of dad's coins are worth much monetary value, or worth getting graded, but they have great cinnamal value. (If I am wrong please let me know)
