<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 3875911, member: 84595&quot;]I totally agree with &quot;mynamespat&quot;.&nbsp; BUY the BOOKS before you buy the coins.&nbsp; I did this 64 years ago, starting out with the red book, a grading guide book, Spadone&#039;s error and variety book&nbsp; and my blueberry and princess pine money.&nbsp; First coin bought at a coin show when I was a little tyke was a Good 1918-7 D Buffalo for $20.&nbsp; It&#039;s in a graded holder now and still good.&nbsp; Coins were cheap 64 years ago.&nbsp; You could still get a silver dollar at the bank for a buck.&nbsp; As the years went by I would buy a key coin from time to time.&nbsp; Not as an investment but for the enjoyment of the hobby and/or the beauty of the coin or the history of the country.&nbsp; I can safely say this, In 64 years, I have never lost money on a coin.&nbsp; Buy a cherry pickers guide and go to small shows.&nbsp; Knowledge is power. You could cherry pick some key and semi key coins if you have the knowledge and a good eye.&nbsp; Enjoy the HOBBY.&nbsp; My best cherry pick is an 1878 VAM 44A Morgan dollar now graded MS-61 which cost me $50.&nbsp; I have an original copy of Les and Sue Fox&#039;s &quot;Silver Dollar Fortune Telling&quot; and many books by Q David Bowers and Walter Breen.&nbsp; All of my books have paid for themselves hundreds of times over.&nbsp; Happy coin collecting/investing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
