<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 2094910, member: 22271&quot;]Even though he&#039;s 19, he could start saving up for a choice coin. For example, say he likes Indian Heads, he could save up enough to buy a MS-63 1908-S IH (Red Book listed at $400). It might take a year, but it would be a start. What he might want to do is to look at a few different series, etc. to collect, examine the cost(s) of the key dates, consider his budget for the next few years and then choose what to collect.</p><p>Granted his collection might only be a few coins in the next couple of years, but he will have some killer coins that will be the nucleus of a much larger (and much more valuable) collection a decade from now.</p><p>Last Comment: after he decides what to collect, his first investment should be the best books available on that series.</p><p><br /></p><p>PostScript, I absolutely agree with tommyc03 that he should start an investment portfolio ASAP. If he is working, he have a 401k (or whatever equivalent is offered) and max that out every year. After that, then the coin collecting hobby can be pursued[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
