Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 09/11/2013 05:16 am Welcome to the hobby! - I would warn against purchasing expensive coins to start with unless you are certain of their provenance. That goes double if you're looking at old coins. - Coin collecting is basically an aesthetic hobby. Only bother with coins that you actually enjoy looking at. - Add to your collection regularly.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/11/2013 10:50 am To the Forum on coins and stuff HOWEVER, STOP NOW. Yes stop now at collecting coins. Do you realize how few there are? If you and many others keep starting collecting coins, there will be less and less for me. I want them all. All kidding aside your best bet is to look up places where you can purchase what is called a Red Book by Whitman Pubhlishing. Over 400 pages of information and photos of coins. It comes in a hard cover, soft cover and ringed edge version. available at most coin stores, coin shows, some hobby stores and on line at such places as Amazon.com Sit down with that book and look through it for what YOU like. Then slowly ask here where to buy or find whatever you decide you want to collect. My advice for coins would be the Lincoln Cent and Jefferson nickel as a starter since most are available by roll searching from rolls purchased at banks. Report this Post to the Staff

HAAA @ just carl- actually I've been working off of theblue book prices and seemed to have had great success with my purchases so far. don't know if this is normal but I guess time will tell. And I will pick up the Red Book for comparison prices regardless- thanks again everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
