Starting a coin collection of four Bucks

Have you been thinking about how to start collecting coins? It's easier than I thought! I'll show you how to start a coin collection of $ 4 million nickels. This is a great project for children who are interested in the collection, and also for adults who want to collect coins, but do not really know where to start.
Our collection is based on Jefferson coins, probably the most overlooked types of coins in circulation. It is also the easiest way to complete the series, as no date, very few!

Difficulty: Easy
Time required: An approximate
The Como here:

 

1 - You need 2 rolls of coins circulated Jefferson. Each roll is 40, and costs $ 2. The best place to get them is a convenience store or other business that often deals with small change, so that their own rolls. You do not want are coins from the shore, where it is most likely to get coins out of circulation.
2 - Open the two rollers and retrieve nickels in a storage medium containing plastic food.
3 - Optional - Add a small amount of detergent and warm water and gently wash the nickels. In general, parts cleaning is not recommended, especially with glazes and other clean metal, but when you get the coins in circulation, are often filthy and dirty. Working in nickels gently around in hot, soapy water for a couple of minutes, then rinse well. Dump in a towel to dry.
4 - Sort by decades of nickels. Compare every cent, using a magnifying glass if necessary, and separate them into piles according to the dates. Make a pile of coins dated 2000 or later, one for the period 1990-1999, one for 1980-1989, and so on for each decade.
5 - Do not be surprised to know that coins of 50 years or more! Because Jefferson coins resist wear well, this is obviously not a coin gives you 50 or 60 years, so the nickels of age are less likely to be withdrawn from circulation.
6 - From the first pile, looking through the time and keep nickels every year. If you have duplicates, choose the best search for your new collection, and put the others aside. Things you see in the "best part" include less wear, less damage or scratches, or brighter, new piece of research from the options Since this is a year. "Date" collection, which does not have to worry by peppermint brands.
7 - Take a piece of sturdy cardboard, cut to about 8 1/2 by 11 inches in size (a little larger is fine) and submit the landscape style (11 inches wide by 8 1/2 high.) about 1 inch from the top, use a ruler to mark exactly seven rows of an inch high and 10 columns exactly 1 inch wide. You want to finish with a 72-inch square to put your coins in.
8 - Draw two additional 1 inch above the network of square boxes, one on the right side and one on the left side. These are the nickels 1938 and 1939. Between the two additional boxes you just drew, write "Jefferson Nickels" in large letters, as in the example above.
9 - About Graphic Design Guide, Jacci Howard Bear demonstrates how to use the computer to make a collection of very nice coins grid just a few easy steps.
10 - Now take the coins already ordered, and start placing them on your screen in their proper places, from the 1940's in the top row, over 2000 in the bottom row.
11 - Once you have made all out, and we are sure that you choose the best specimen of each day, use a small piece of tape to hold the piece of cardboard. Roll a small piece of adhesive tape on a pad and paste it into your board. Then press the coin on the tape to keep it there.
12 - Congratulations! You just start a collection of Jefferson Nickels year. Keep looking around the pocket money, or buying a roll of nickels from time to time, to complete your collection. Every single date Jefferson nickel series, except for three years, while only five cents "war" of money were issued (1943-1945) were outstanding today. Since no rare dates in Jefferson nickel series together, it is easy to complete a collection. Good luck!

Tips:

1) Warning - This information is provided to help a collector for the first time presented his first collection of Jefferson Nickels.

3) You can expand your collection of nickel bearing in mind the mint mark on each nickel (found in the back right of the dome of nickels from 1938 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1964, above the dome in 1942 and 1943 to 1945, and on the front from 1968 to the current. Nickels minted from 1965 to 1967 have no mintmark. in any year, if no mint mark is present, the coin was minted at the Mint in Philadelphia. complete date and mint mark collection of Jefferson nickel can not be completed traffic, but the two main parts (1939-d 1950-d) are low cost, Less than $ 15 each.
