I'll suggest collecting whatever appeals to you and fits into your budget of extra cash. Enjoy the hunt!

I started with wheat and Indian Head cents, and I do that the most. I recently started getting into Morgan's and I just bought my first gold coin, but I only get them if I can get a really good deal.

You should only collect Washington quarters .. 1999 to date.
Nothing else.

Just kidding.

After 45 years of collecting I have figured out that I like the presidents.

Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington, Kennedy and of course Ike.

Of course like others have posted .. collect what you like.
If not sure .. maybe start a Type set, along the way to completing the Type set you might find a series you really like.

Of course I do like Liberty coins .. but any set with Liberty on them will be very expensive, if you want a higher grade set .. some are expensive in lower grade coins.
Another set I always suggest is a Jefferson nickel collection. It is a challenge to find higher grade BU,proof coins. But it can be done with out putting a lot of money out. And when it is complete it is a real joy to look at.

1. Do not start collecting coins. It is a horrible hobby. To many people already are in it. Not enough coins for all.
Mostly if you collect coins, less for me.
2. It's easier to collect Beanie Babies. They are all over the place with people trying to unload those.
3. For a real suggestion, go to any coin store, hobby store, coin show or on the internet. Look for a book called the Red Book by Whitman Publishing.
4. Buy that book and sit down, look all though it, decide what YOU like best.
5. IF you decide to collect modern coins, start with asking your friends, neighbors and relatives for any old coins laying around.
6. Once you decide on what you like, want, can afford, look up coin shows. Go to a few. Best place to find coins, coin collecting stuff.
7. AND if you change your mind about collecting coins, just wrap them all up and send to me.
