<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrew289, post: 1133474, member: 6463&quot;]As you can tell for the all over the spectrum answers to your basic question, no 2 collectors will agree on where to start or what to collect. Everyone is into their own thing. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With kids, however I would start with the state quarters. Get an ablbum and a couple rolls of quarters at the bank and have fun. They are easy to pull from circulation. They are educational as each quarter design is specific to that state and they were issued in the order that they entered the union so you have a ton to explore together.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While doing that read the redbook. You can get one on the cheap book table at books a million for $1.99 sometimes. Maybe even visit a coin store or coin show to look around. Don&#039;t bring any money with you to avaid temptation. You might let the dealers know you are just getting into the hobby but they are also in this for the money. Many dealers look at newbies as if they were sharks circling a tuna. DINNER. SO never buy anything that you don&#039;t know what it is or what it should be worth. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this hobby knowledge is power so never talk to a dealer unless you know as much as he does or you might end up paying to much for things you got talked into buying.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
