My brother once was a head teller at a bank. One of the other tellers traded a roll of nickels to him because it was not long enough and looked to be short a nickel or two. He checked it and found it was all Indian head nickels. He sold them to me. Some were worn so bad that you could no read the dates. I got rid of those few and kept the rest.

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.
