<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pocket Change, post: 232586, member: 8012&quot;]There really isn&#039;t an answer <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The answer is knowledge and education.&nbsp; You can get some of that by asking questions (like you&#039;re doing) and doing a lot of reading and surfing.</p><p>But experience is the best teacher.&nbsp; As others have said, it depends on what you want to collect.</p><p>If you want low cost experience, start with collecting a 1941-1975 set of lincoln cents.&nbsp; Nothing too pricey there and you&#039;ll get lots of experience with dealers, e-bay, shipping costs, grading, etc.&nbsp; Plus, I personally think lincolns are undervalued.</p><p>Or if you want something more exotic, pick one of the silver-based sets like roosevelts (1946-64).&nbsp; You can get most, if not all of them at melt value -so you really won&#039;t lose much money&nbsp; - unless the price of silver drops <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
