Here are a few tips on getting started.
1. Ask all your relatives if they have any jars, cans, boxes of coins laying around
2. Ask all your friends if they have any coins laying around they don't want.
3. Get in the habit of going to garage/yard,estate sales in your area. At those always ASK about any coins. Most do not put them out due to theft.
4. If there is a laundromat in your area, see if you can find the owner and ask him about any coins he may have that he doean't want
5. Order a
Red Book by Whitman Publishing so you have a greater idea of what is what in coinage.
6. Try to find Albums for your coins. Much safer than Folders.
7. Occationally go to a bank and purcahase a few rolls of anything you may be intersested in.
8. Go to as many coin web sites as you can find that have anything free such as a catalog. Whitman Publishing has a great catalog. Millers Mint too has a decent catalog.
9 And if you get tired of collecting coins, just send them all to me. You pay postage though.
