<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1354764, member: 5233"]I would start by doing some research. Pick up a Red Book and read through. Find something specific that interests you. Perhaps a series or something. For instance, there are several coin series that can be completed on a budget. Examples include Frankling Halves, Eisenhower Dollars, or if you are having a hard time with that...a type set is a great place to start. I recommend for a type set getting a Dansco 7070 album, it's not too many coins but a nice variety of designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, be very picky about the coins you pick up. Be selective, don't just buy lots and problem coins to fill holes. Take your time and put together the best set you can afford. Many collectors (myself included) started out just trying to fill as many holes as possible and ended up with many problems coins and coins that we feel like we need to replace. Take your time. It's supposed to be fun, and when you finally have reached a collecting goal...you will be very proud of your collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
