<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nick Zynko, post: 4236777, member: 110450&quot;]Brandi you have hundreds of years of experienced collectors on this board and all of us started out just like you.&nbsp;&nbsp; I started putting my penny set together at age 8 and that was 50 years ago and I am still upgrading and expanding the same set!&nbsp; Start with learning about each coin. Seek out the very best affordable common date pennies you can find.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you stick with it, you will get that SVBD and the 14D and the 31S.&nbsp; It may be by purchase of the ugliest but affordable date fillers at first or you will come by a really great deal from a dealer at a show or trade with a trusted friend.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The key is being very patient, always try and make good decisions, never quick impulsive ones , do not ever overspend, ask your connections the tough questions as you have done here.&nbsp; In time you will get every one of the keys and then start trading those in and up as I have done for many years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then maybe add in all the proofs.&nbsp; Then the errors like the 55, 72 and 83 double die varieties.&nbsp; The fun is in learning then setting a single goal and then go on the hunt. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Someone very wise advised you on this board &quot;do not&quot; go 0-60 and try and buy them all as quick as you can.&nbsp;&nbsp; Set up time to read as much as you can whenever you can on each coin before you buy it. You will be blown away at what you learn. Each day you become a little wiser and then finding and negotiating the purchase of a perfect cherry red MS common date coin is as fun as buying the SVBD at a great price![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
