<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Johnson, post: 4114936, member: 96020&quot;]I think it depends on what you want out of your collection.&nbsp; If you&#039;re collecting just for the joy of it or just to own a piece of history, then I&#039;d say find a set you find particularly interesting and start by trying to complete that.&nbsp; A&nbsp; lot of us have Dansco 7070 albums and work to complete those; they include a slot for every type of coin ever minted in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if you hope to one day profit from your collection, I think your best bet is to stick with graded coins (at least until you have learned to grade for yourself and are able to spot fakes).&nbsp; For the most part, silver or gold coins have held their value the best in the past, unless colonial copper is in your budget.&nbsp; But don&#039;t expect to turn a quick profit; it can be several years before you see prices rise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most collectors I know tend to do a little of both.&nbsp; We&#039;ll buy certain coins because we believe they&#039;re likely to grow in value, but we&#039;ll also spend our money on a lot of coins because we just like them.&nbsp; We are collectors, after all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
