<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steven88, post: 169796, member: 6511&quot;]You do NOT want to begin your collection by ordering something off Coin Vault.&nbsp; Their stuff is ridiculously overpriced.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the lower-denomination coin series from the 20th century are fun yet inexpensive to collect.&nbsp; Wheat cents, buffalo nickels, and mercury dimes are all very fun to own and they also have history in them (and the Merc dimes are made of silver - an added bonus).&nbsp; Franklin half dollars from the mid 1900s are also very interesting and popular but will cost a little more.&nbsp; I would say that most collectors start with wheat pennies or buffalo nickels and branch out from there...I know that&#039;s how I started not too long ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever you do, do some RESEARCH before you begin spending money on coins.&nbsp; The Red Book (about $13, available at dept. stores, amazon, hobby stores, etc.) is chock full of info about pretty much every US coin there is.&nbsp; But most importantly, HAVE FUN while collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
