<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brit in Texas, post: 375739, member: 12971&quot;]I&#039;d suggest that</p><p><br /></p><p>1) you determine your budget. How much do you have to spend on coins each month / year?</p><p>2) Think about your buying style. Would you be happy using all of your available money getting just one coin a year or do you want to be able to get a few every week for the same price outlay? Is it important to you that you&#039;ll be able to get every coin in the series?</p><p>3) read a few coin books</p><p>4) pick an area to concentrate on depending on what you like and your budget.</p><p>5) read more about your subject</p><p>6) read some more about it</p><p>7) buy coins and try your hardest to stick to what you&#039;ve decided to buy. It&#039;s ok to stray once in a while but keep your eyes on the goal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could make some more specific suggestions if we knew what kind of budget you have and broadly whether you&#039;d prefer Canadian, U.S. or other world coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, if I were you I&#039;d start by collecting Canadian small cents and nickels. I have a fondness for those and they&#039;re cheap. It&#039;ll give you time and real world experience learning to grade coins and spot signs of cleaning etc. You could probably also pull a lot from circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
