I just planted the seeds for new collectors this week

I have seeded the ground for new collectors this week and last.
I put into circulation two bags of mixed BU Lincolns (1958-1975) that I took out of rolls and mint sets over the past two years.
And a BU bag of Jefferson Nickels (1954-1975) again out of rolls and mint sets.

The way I started collecting was finding old coins (pennies) in change.
So I seeded the area to start someone new.

Hope to start as many new collectors as I can, but if only one that will still be worth it.

    I always carry a few cull proof and unc coins to put into circulation. Tellers and clerks often
    will set coins aside to purchase themselves, so it can be more effective to put a few in circulation
    at a time. The best places are in vending machines and crowded stores or mixed in with a lot
    of ordinary coins.

    There are a lot of great coins still out there and they haven't all been "seeded".
