What do you all do with all your coin accumulation

[Darth Walker]

Just a question for all.

From wikipedia
There are three main types of coin roll hunters; the composition hunter, the variety hunter, and the set hunter. Composition hunters hunt for precious metals (usually silver, sometimes copper). Variety hunters search for mint errors. Set hunters attempt to complete sets of a specific type of coin.

Many of you that find a lot of silver do you just accumulate it all or do you all sale it at some point of time?

hmm... I think I am all three......though mainly a set hunter

 

[OmegaMan]

All three for me and sell when prices go up.

I used to make things with mine before I got too busy. HH Mark

I am a little of each but do not sell...at least not yet.

I throw the clad in a coffee can and cash it in at the coin star when it gets full. I keep the silver and wheat pennies though. Other than being old, what good are wheat pennies? I have a ton of them and have been thinking about just cashing them in too. No key dates. Monty

Trouble with silver is, it takes ALOT of weight in coin to build any value. So much for the safe deposit box at the bank...
I know there are some large stashes out there, thinking about a backyard bury.

how did you do that? looks like it took some thought and time!

 

[phrostie]

I'd say I'm all three though, although when starting it was primarily for precious metals. Now I'm putting together sets and instead of waiting around to get a loupe I just bought a magnifying glass and caught to Kennedy DDRs.

I'd sell if silver got high enough but I do not have a set price in mind for these coins yet...so I guess it's just collection phase.

 

[cmhoose]

I would have to say that I am all three as well. I think that most collectors reach a point where you feel like it is just a hoard. Over the past year or so, I have began to unload some silver. I like to sell and take a percentage of the profit to buy coins I need for my sets. Now we just need silver to go back up!

i guess i'm all 3 also....i'm hoarding but might sell if prices go high enough

 

[Codes]

I would call myself a hoarder. I try to get my hands on as many older coins - not just silver - for face value. I don't care about condition or certain sets, I just care about the number of coins I have.

[HolyDiver]

All of the above. I think most of us do all 3.

 

[Jack_MIghtyheart]

Yup, all three. I started out just going for silver, but then I started doing nickels and picked up the folders for them. Now I'm trying to complete that set while still getting as much silver as I can =D

 

[Monty]

I guess everyone has noticed the shabby appearance of dug zinc pennies now days. Sometimes I either stop digging them or throw them away. Our banks won't exchange them and it's too much a hassle to send them off somewhere to the feds. (That's what the banks tell me). No wonder banks are failing. There is no such thing as customer service any more. I tried to get change for a twenty one day and dropped by a local bank wher I use to keep my Little League account. I nearly got thrown out just for asking for change! Some even have a fee for teller service! Monty

That is known as a triple span bridge- yea I used to have too much time on my hands. There's a website somewhere about these built with pennies, halves are harder- poker chips are the easiest. I lost the bookmark when puter crashed last time. HH Mark

That is a really cool bridge, nice work !!

Keep @ It and HH!!
