<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bg1856, post: 666259, member: 19879&quot;]BNB, I have read this entire thread and it looks as if you are all over the place man. This coin, that coin.&nbsp; Figure out what it is that you like, collect first and worry about investment second.&nbsp; I am a novice just like yourself, and I bought my first coin 2 weeks ago.&nbsp; Only after months of doing nothing but reading and learning as much as I could.&nbsp; The following is what I posted on CT right after I received my coin: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After a tremendous amount of time learning and reading about various aspects of coin collecting, I took my first step into what I hope to be a long and slow marathon approach to my eventual collection. I focused hard on what I would like to complete and yet be obtainable for a first timer. I came to the conclusion that as opposed to collecting coins for the shear numbers of them, I would take the approach of lesser coins with higher quality from a series that I liked. Eventually, I settled upon the 2.5 Indian Quarter Eagles in mostly MS64&amp;65&#039;s except for the 1911-d key. After searching long and hard for the 1st example of this set, I found a 1925-D NGC MS65 that had great luster eye appeal, very distinct mint mark, and strike. Although this coin is quite common by date, it becomes scarce at at gem and higher with only 40 NGC finer. Best part about it.......I got it for 8% back of bid, according to the most recent graysheet. This forum provides alot of good info for the novice and the research does payoff. I&#039;ll post pics when I learn how to photo a coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I wish you the best, but now I have to get back to learning how to photo a coin, because anything worth doing is worth doing right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
