Right, with coins be a little patient. This awhile back
but my uncle got four of five 1955 double stamped
pennies, just because he looked at his change.
I am fond of porcelain items also,

I enjoy coin collecting. My grandfather has always collected coins and I’ve recently gotten hooked. It doesn’t have to cost a lot. I can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination I’m in the mood for) for exactly face value. A box of cents is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500.

Once I get a box, I go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). I keep all interesting coins and try to fill holes in my coin books.

The coins that I don’t want/need can be returned to the bank and put straight back into my account (though it’s often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that I don’t end up searching the same boxes over and over). So most of my money goes back and I can then get another box.

Some things to search for: wheat cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with an “s” mint mark – they may be proof coins etc. There’s always the chance of finding a real treasure!

I collect porcelain dolls and started doing so when my daughter, who is now 19, was only about a year old. =)
