<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mcrow24, post: 1461344, member: 38505&quot;]Since I&#039;m just starting out collection coins for the numismatic value of them, I&#039;m just curious to see what people think are the best types or series to collect?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think for a beginner there are a few important criteria (in no order):</p><p><br /></p><p>Value- Low enough cost to collect not to put off new collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Desirability- some level of interesting history, uniqueness, or eye appeal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Attainability- The coins can be found easy enough so that the beginner can feel they can build a collection with effort but not so much to discourage them to the point of quiting. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To me Wheat Cents, Indian Head Cents, Buffalo nickles, and Mercury dimes probably fit this the best. A large portion of these coins can be had for very small amounts and the vast majority go for less than $50.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
