<p>[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 177888, member: 4367"]When I began collecting one of the basic steps I took was to learn about the coins you chose to collect, didn't have much/any money then to spend so all I could do was to educate myself about the series or coin I would one-day collect or own. Only had a few sources for information, the RedBook being one of them. This collecter lived many miles and years from a library in the closest town and the only coin related book it had was the RedBook, LOL. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I never was interested in selling coins, only collecting them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> People like me really don't need or want the slabs on coins or cards. *A whole other rant, LOL....</p><p><br /></p><p>Nowadays there are individuals who've never collected and have many thousands of dollars to begin their collections with.
