Share Your Coin Collecting Tips!

I work pretty heavily with the YNs in my coin club and at the show that my club puts on every year, and I always tell them to buy quality over quantity. I made this mistake when I was starting out and I hope they don't do the same thing.

I set some goals for my collection this year. I have found that this has kept me focused on what is important to me. It also has given me a sense of accomplishment as I have achieved my goals.

I set nine goals for this year and I have accomplished eight of them. I don't think I will finish the last goal so I will carry it over to next year. I have already set my goals for 2017, right now I have ten of them.

Having the goals has not overshadowed my "fun" coins buys. I'm still picked up a few coins for my 20th century slabbed type set.

There's about 6 or 7 YNs that regularly attend, and then a handful who pop in every once in a while. Unfortunately, I can't get too in depth in my discussions with them because they are all in the 7-10 year old range. I enjoy working with them, but it gets kind of awkward sometimes since I'm 16.
