<p>[QUOTE="richcali, post: 1607283, member: 35512"]I would suggest you start a U.S. Type Set which includes most of the U.S. coins ever minted one of each type, I personally collect the first year only of each type (at least the ones I can afford) then this way you will start looking for coins to buy for the album and start to find the ones that you like and can afford and learn what the coins look like in hand and from there you will start to find favorites and then start collecting coins that you personally like. I like them all but the Capped Bust Halfs and the Half Cents are my favorite and after putting together a few of these Type Sets I then started collecting Bank Wrapped Pennies preferably Federal Banks most of the pennies turn out to be high grade MS65 and up most of my rolls are 1950's to 1970, with a few dozen earlier and I really enjoy them as well, I even had one that was Indian head cents and was bank wrapped but beware the bank rolls are hard to purchase on eBay as there are so many fake rolls out there so you really need to learn how to tell which are the fakes and only buy from people who allow returns and this goes for all the coins you buy on eBay. The other thing you need to think about is which album to buy I only use Intercept shield Albums I am not sure how everyone here feels about these albums but I like them a lot or you can put them in 2x2's but again be carefull a lot of them can damage your coins so do a little research on them. GOOD LUCK!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
