I picked up two boxes of halves, and two boxes of dimes yesterday. Not a bad start. Plus five proofs. I'm not sure if I should save the proofs yet?

Nice first boxes! Personally, I don't keep the proofs. It isn't worth it to me. Have fun out there. :D

Hey that's some nice beginner's luck you got there! That's enough to do it again.
Thanks for sharing the pic!

I collect coins and often get premium folders at a good price that have places for proofs.

I filled two complete Kennedy folders with high grade specimens but would never break a proof set just to put them in the folders.
So I filled them with the best of the proofs I found!

They are not worth very much even if mint state but, as a collector, I enjoy having them.
