<p>[QUOTE=&quot;financeman, post: 839427, member: 23818&quot;]Ok, I have set here for half an hour reading this entire post.</p><p>There has been a lot of good info and a little bad. I dont think that the newbies like myself go to the the modern coins just because they like those more and dont have like the older ones. I think it is more about figuring out how to look at coins and make sure this is what they want to do withouot a ton of money out of there pocket. My son and I for example have started collecting Lincoln cents and we are starting with memorial cents first because a) we can roll search and plug holes b) We can get the graded ones in PR70 without a ton of money for the start of our registry and c) we learn how to spot reall verses fake coins.</p><p>We will eventually get more into the wheats but to be honest, it is more about the bonding time than it is the collecting at this point. Yes, we are both really into the collecting but we love spending those extra minutes during the day looking through a roll or plugging holes or looking online for proofs.</p><p>I agree with people saying that the &quot;old timers&quot; can run the new collectors off. I am a new collector and it would have been easy to run me off at the beginning before I became passionate about collecting and learning but the opposite happened with numerous people on this forum by welcoming me and sharing there knowledge and even sending coins to me and my son. It actually made us more excited to collect because of the people and the willingness to help. So for that I say thank you to all who have made it possible for my son and I to have one more thing to make our relationship stronger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
