I have started getting into silver and coin collecting for about 3-4 months, and have read several posts on here, which tends to get me excited about searching for some coins. Right now searching for silver mainly but want to get into other coins. The searching isn't going too well so far. Have only found two 40% silver halves. I typically buy my rolls in a small town, about 2500 population, where I work. Have not bought a box of halves or dimes yet, typically most of the banks here have between $50 and $100 in halves.
Again I have read several posts and get excited about searching. The silver is eluding me. LOL. After reading one post that talked about looking for other coins because of what we might be passing up. My problem is how does one go about learning what to look for? Being new at this I am having a hard time finding the marks of coins worth collecting. I read that people talk about proofs, dates high, double strike, etc.., but i just don't see it. Any suggested readings, videos, or whatever?
Oh I read a post buy a guy running a website called www.survivalblog.com , where he was talking about saving nickles because so many people arestarting to get into silver searching. The government will be changing the make up of the nickle coins due to increased production costs. Any thoughts?
thanks for all input.
