been thinking about collecting again, would it be beneficial to do it again? i havent bought a coin or anything in over a year since i sold my collection last year, want to start collecting just wheats and indian cents. are they worth collecting again?

update:

i purchased approximately 5000 wheat cents with a possibility of a few idian cents thrown in. out of the mix i did out the following indian cents.

1859 g
1875 ag
1879 vg
1880 ag
1881 almost fine (little worn on head band)
1883 vg
1885 g
1888 g
1889 ag
1891 g
1893 ag
1896 g
1898 vg
1899 g

1902 g
1903 f12
1904 f12
1905 vg
1906 vg
1907 vg
1908 vg

will update with the wheats once i go through and inventory those, also i found several duplicates of the above

UPDATE:

Now that i started buying coins again, I have now bought roughly two bags of coins (about 8500 coins) and since then I have pulled out many coins other than a few, the ones i still need and hope to find soon would be as follows:

1909s vdb
1909s
1910s
1911d
1911s
1912d
1913d

If it makes you happy, then yes.

If you have to ask if coins are "worth collecting again"?, then my reply is no.

The hobby is full of enough folks that want to "cash in" instead of folks who simply want to have a nice collection which they enjoy regardless of "worth".

gene2393 · February 21, 2012 11:08AM

I had some instances come up that i needed to cash in, did not want to but was a last resort i dreaded taking, what would be a good price to pay for bulk indian head cents

Go for it! Just for fun I put 90% of this together from a wheaties stash, a complete set through 2007. I did have to buy many of the keys and a few proofs.

It was a lot of fun. A nice, inexpensive diversion.

I see you're a fellow digger. How about collecting some of the stuff you always dreamed of diggin' up?

(Within reason- I mean, I can't collect double eagles or Charlotte and Dahlonega gold- but you know what I mean.)

PS- lkeigwin- that's a purty page of pennies, particularly the 1915.

If you will enjoy the hobby, absolutely!

If you don't have another hobby than yes. Its proven that people are happier when they have a hobby. And you can always just collect circulated coins instead of high end coins to save on money.

It's more about the hunt than the kill. Your at a great stage.........the start.

So yes......get back at it and have some fun!

bosco5041 · February 21, 2012 9:44PM

If your heart is in it then yes, if its not then no.

lasvegasteddy · February 21, 2012 9:48PM

it happened to me too
if you like n love coins...why not
i love the thrill of the hunt...building a lil value based collection

Your posts give me the impression that your heart's not really in it. I hope I'm wrong.

Coin collecting can be a time consuming, and money consuming hobby.

But I find it very rewarding for many reasons...the least of which is potential monetary gain.

What makes you want to collect again?

PerryHall · February 21, 2012 10:17PM

Go for it but start off slow and take your time so you don't burn out. And above all else have fun!

ricko · February 21, 2012 11:58PM

If you like coins and enjoy collecting, then go for it.... IHC's and Lincolns are a lot of fun.... Cheers, RickO

Not sure what you mean by beneficial??

Many collectors including myself take breaks from the hobby or go >1 year between purchases. You may have been gone a year but the coins are all still there. More now than ever before it is easy to find and purchase rare coins.

Alright well I am going for it, will be buying at least 100 rolls of wheat cents/indian cent mix tomarrow , ive found several indian in the past through this dealer, hopefully i get some good luck on this

derryb · February 24, 2012 1:30AM

collect what you enjoy, invest in what makes money.

If you can do both at the same time you will have fun making money.
