<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PyrotekNX, post: 89926, member: 3918&quot;]It all depends what kind of collector you are.&nbsp; The casual collector honestly doesn&#039;t need to buy any books or worry about holders because they rarely purchase graded coins.&nbsp; A casual collector probably would not pay $1000 for a key date either.</p><p><br /></p><p>The majority of collectors become interested in a series where they have enough coins to try to make a set.&nbsp; An inexperienced collector is very unlikely to start collecting a harder series like large cents or half dimes without actually having some or seeing some in person.&nbsp; Young collectors will typically start with coins they know about and are accessible.&nbsp; By the time they find out about 1/2 cents, 1/2 dimes, 2, 3, and 20 cent pieces, they will probably know enough to at least do a little research before they start bidding up on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
