What to do with found coins?

[mjr08010]

Hey Everyone!

I am new to the CRH'ing process and I cannot wait to get started. This question may be dumb, but asides from selling on eBay what do you do with all these valuable half dollars to make your money?

Thanks!

"all these" lol

I filled my swimming pool with them and I swim through them Scrooge Mcduck style.

Don't put the cart before the horse, its not as easy as you think.

 

[mjr08010]

Never said anything about it being easy. I was literally asking what does everyone do with their coins after they acquire them? No need to nit-pick the wording...

mjr,
Welcome to Treasure Net !!
As you admit, your a newbie here and to CRH.
I suggest you take Joe777Cool's comment with the' LOL' designation for what it represents, a little humor based on the difficulties we know associated with the 'sport'-- versus 'nit-picking'.

What would you all say is the main reason for holding onto the coins: in hopes for increasing value? for collecting?

I like to play "cool Uncle" and pass out random coins to the young ones.

 

[BigWaveDave]

Then I try to get them back!

 

[mjr08010]

Haha BigWaveDave! I used to have a relative who would do the same thing. Trip down memory lane...

mjr,
When I first started in the hobby, my objective was, as a collector, to fill the 'Blue Books'. Today, my kids have no interest in such a 'dull thing'--so I'll wait till silver gets back again to near 50 then unload; perhaps buying two rare coins as a memory of this fascinating hobby; and to pass on to my two kids.

I see how high I can stack all my morgan silver dollars without the stack falling down. I am currently up to a stack of over 9000

l2hunt -

1) What is your process for cleaning them?
2) Why would the bank buy it back for more than face value?

P.S. - I apologize for posting this in the incorrect folder. I would move it if I had the ability...
