<p>[QUOTE="marid3, post: 1609439, member: 35968"]Some have already recommend the Redbook - a great choice, but if you're exploring, as it seems you are, then my recommendation, Read before you buy.

[QUOTE="marid3, post: 1609439, member: 35968"]Some have already recommend the Redbook - a great choice, but if you're exploring, as it seems you are, then my recommendation, Read before you buy.

Most people collect, or invest, or a little of both. I suggest you wrestle with this question FIRST, so you don't have buyer's remose later. Read the Travers book to help you with that. I'd then suggest reading about 10 other books before you buy, but in the event you don't want to . . . . After that, most people generally describe a few different types of collecting: Date/Mintmark - every one - doesn't sound like you from what you've described Type Sets - see book above - this might be you? Hoarders - everything they come across, perhaps they arrange them by type or Date/MM, but are not discriminate. Interest - many on this forum. Some examples are: - history buffs - coins around a period of time, event, place - metal buffs - only gold, silver, etc. - valuable stuff - only Key Dates, Semi-Keys, - obscure stuff - errors, varities, patterns, discontinued, etc. - other - infinitie possibilities. Within all these, you can go very expensive, or do it on a budget. That's why everyone is saying - collect what you love. Happy collecting and WELCOME!!:welcome: My $.02[/QUOTE]
