I currently have something over 10,000 coins in the collection with a conservative collectors value of about $22,000. And I too have been collecting (until about 4 or 5 years ago I was more of an accumulator than a real collector but as I get closer to retirement I've been spending more time filling holes and actually working on it) since I was about 11 or 12 years old. My father gave me a small box full of old coins most of them from before the war (WWII). A few indian head pennies, a bunch of buffalo nickels and mercury dimes, and even one flying eagle penny (I currently have three). He also had a few silver dollars and some old prewar currency.

Back when silver hit the top, my mother took her old coins and sold them. I picked out the "good" ones for her to keep. It was a mistake. She got 22 times face value. They will probably not be that valuable again in my lifetime. I have several hundreds of dollars of old coins. Many I bought my senior year in high school. I went once a week to the banks and bought all the nickels and dimes I had not bought before and went through them. Living in Navajo land, I got lots.
