Try a hobby store or local coin store for something called the Red Book by Whitman Publishing. Get that book and have her look through it to see what she likes and then too have an idea of how much she wants to spend.

If you go onto ebay and search "coin type set", you can buy various collections of different types of coins cheap. Might be a way to get started.

Mom needs to join CCF and read a lot before forking out a lot of dough. Buy a Red Book at least.
New collectors all make mistakes being uninformed.
