<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3069594, member: 36230"]There is probably a lot more to this hobby than you yet realize, but one thing to understand as early as possible is that the hobby is yours to do with and experience as you see fit. If you allow yourself to get bogged down by worrying about what others think or collect, or how valuable a coin is to someone else, you're less likely to enjoy it as much as you should.</p><p><br /></p><p>When searching pocket change, all that really matters is if you like a found coin. However, when it comes to buying coins and paying collectible premiums, then it is very important to know exactly what you're doing and would be buying. The same enjoyment factor is still paramount, but it's very easy to get burned or to bury oneself when not possessing the knowledge to buy safely. This hobby is learning, and is something you could continue to do for the rest of your life without ever knowing half of what's out there. Look into different aspect or areas of the hobby to see what speaks to you personally, then make a serious effort to educate yourself. Ask questions when stuck or unsure, but be put your thick skin on before signing in. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Although the shown coins go not carry collectible premiums, there's nothing wrong with collecting them and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
