<p>[QUOTE="spirityoda, post: 1647034, member: 44633"]Hi Uncle Herbie. I started out like you are now. I collected everything world coins. as time went on I got out of control. The thing that fixed that problem was me buying the Krause world coins catalogs. then I became much more focused on what I liked/wanted. my quest now is getting every world "coin with insects" coins. I also have other topical/themes collections such as certain "coins with hands" certain "coins with stars" I also collect misc. world coins. I liked rainbow toned coins too. I also collect U.S. type coins. I started out getting so called cheap coins. then later I started saving up for better grade coins. lower grade coins are ok too. the thrill of the hunt continues. if you love coins as much as I do...you will learn that coin collecting can be a life long hobby. I say this because some coins on my want list are much harder to find/get. I will eventually collect ancient coins. they are fascinating, but can be pricey. that all depends on grade and rarity. the most important thing is to have fun and buy what YOU like..NOT what someone else tells you to buy. another thing I would suggest would be going to coin shows in your state or neighboring states. last but least ....buy the books then the coins....read read read up on coins. this will teach you the real value and grades of most coins. talking with other coin collectors helps a lot and maybe they can tell you where to find/get the coins you are interested in getting/buying are. enjoy the hunt. good luck. :welcome:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
