<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1698604, member: 33176&quot;]Getting started without having the coins that Grampa left is somewhat of a daunting task.&nbsp; Collecting from pocket change or even from rolls from banks is tough, because what are you going to collect.&nbsp; Jefferson nickels are about tho only ones you really have a chance at.&nbsp; Try and collect all the state quarters from change or banks.&nbsp; Will they be worth anything - no, but it is kind of fun.&nbsp; Now you can start looking for errors, but that is not everyone&#039;s cup of tea.&nbsp; Basically, get a red book.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t have to be a new one, cause the prices in there are mostly not anything that anyone will follow.&nbsp; Gives you an idea of rarity though, and lots of good info.&nbsp; If you have a coin club in your area, that would be a godsend.&nbsp; Lots of people who share an interest, people to buy and sell from.&nbsp; Otherwise, where are you going to find coins.&nbsp; E-bay is OK, but prices do tend to run high.&nbsp; Local coin shops and shows are fantastic if you can find them.&nbsp; Even some of the &quot;We Buy Gold&quot; places might sell you some coins they have taken in.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t hurt to ask.&nbsp; Finally, I would avoid slabbed coins at first unless you are starting with lotsa bucks.&nbsp; After you decide you are going to stick with it, then you can buy some ANACS or NGC slabs.&nbsp; Don&#039;t forget foreign coins from dealers &quot;junk&quot; boxes - a world of fun.&nbsp; Above all, enjoy yourself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
