No offense, but your questions sound like you're fairly young.
Coin collecting isn't as easy as finding out which ones are rare, then looking through a bunch of coins, finding rare ones and making a bunch of money. Read through some threads about searching half dollars and finding one (or zero) $5 coin in a box of 1000.
The first step is learn. Not prices, that comes later. Study a particular series or denomination. The nice thing about knowledge is once you have it, no one can take it from you. The more you know, the easier it will be for you to find the less obvious bargains that most people don't know exist, instead of butting heads on the stuff everyone knows to look for.
