<p>[QUOTE=&quot;whopper64, post: 3582068, member: 101364&quot;]I started coin collecting with Lincolns.&nbsp; Before that, I read as much as I could about the history of the Lincoln cent, grading, and proper storage methods.&nbsp; I am constantly amazed that &quot;newbies&quot; think that a memorial Lincoln is worth something if it is shiny.&nbsp; And then there are those who believe the drivel about investing in coins, rather than just collecting to preserve a piece of history.&nbsp; Truly rare coins are investment pieces, everything else is a scam, perpetuated by dealers eager to sell at ridiculous profit.&nbsp; To the &quot;newbies&quot;, stay away from You Tube and do your homework.&nbsp; Enjoy your coins for historic sake, and pass them on to your children and grandchildren.&nbsp; One more thing, stay away from &quot;error&quot; coins, they will drive you absolutely crazy!&nbsp; Just my humble opinion.&nbsp; But the serious collectors who have the time, energy, and money thrive on the next &quot;error&quot; coin being discovered.&nbsp; They are a different breed, but I really enjoy reading their threads.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
