<p>[QUOTE="Paul_62, post: 1558251, member: 41669"]You're in the right place. The first good thing you did was to register and post here, and now browse the forums. I started last year with a few coins I found in my mother's things and took off from there. I had no idea what I was doing, but I started lurking around the online communities and there is a wealth of information out there. Look for pricing guides online too, get a sense of what the coins are worth, and absolutely get the Red Book. You can find a lot out there on ebay as well, what coins are out there and what they are selling for. I've bought most of my coins on ebay and haven't had a bad experience yet (knock on wood...).</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck, I started with Morgans and moved to Kennedys and Eisenhowers, I have one Dansco of Ikes now and am working on one of the Kennedys. These are way more affordable, and along the way I'm learning. One of these days I'll jump back to 19th century coins, but for now I'll stick with the more modern ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
