Probably everyone at one time or another has collected collectibles
magazines. Other people collect state quarters, and some
others collect certain coins like nickles or dimes, and
try to build a complete collection collectibles magazines
over time. A lot of folks think coin collecting collectibles
magazines is the hobby of king's and truthfully, it's often
called that. A king may be able to build a giant collection
of coins, but I promise you, that the small collection collectibles
magazines a young boy has that may only be worth a couple
of dollars, is worth just as much to that boy as a King's
coins are worth to him.
There are a lot of ways someone can build
a great coin collection over time, while still paying
the bills.
My grandad would let me sit and play with the coins often.
The coins were frosty silver or whitish colored and were
beautiful to look at, they were large and heavy, not like
the little coins we have today. It wasn't too long after
that when dad got bitten by the coin collecting bug. At
first it wasn't coins but paper money that got dad started.
Sometime later dad mailed the dollar bills to the address
in the magazine collectibles magazines ad, and sure enough
he soon got a check for the dollars plus an extra dollar
each. Dad continued searching and sending in them "
Joesph W. Barr " dollar bills for awhile, then after
a period of time, the guy no longer was accepting them.
Then as he got older and money seemed to get a lot more
tighter, dad quit buying coins and turned to a new hobby,
doing sweepstakes. But by this time, I was hooked, I just
loved the look of the old coins, the silver ones and the
old copper large cents, they just seemed so neat compared
to the boring coins of everyday use. I selected miscellaneous
U.S. coins, everything from old large cents from the 1800's
to silver mercury dimes and buffalo nickels etc. Overtime
I discovered other cheap methods to aquire some nice coins,
one of the methods I still use, is something that anyone
can do to start building a nice coin collection. Just
start searching and examining your pocket change, I still
find wheat pennies and silver war nickels, and many pre
1960 nickels, and sometimes a silver coin in pocket change.
Read up on the coins you are interested in buying, or
better yet, take along a pocket coin price guide with
you when you go to buy coins, it's better to be thrifty
then foolish.
