To me, that is what keeps me collecting. I also do nickels, dimes and quarters on a much smaller scale. It really isn't about the value, although I feel that I do have some very nice coins in my folders from my efforts.
Seven sets?! What kind of sets?

Searching coins will definitely keep you busy. Do you have pictures of some of your finds?
