<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1722121, member: 41863&quot;]Best general advice is to start a type set. They are relatively easy and very versatile. You get an overview of a large group of coins and explore new areas that you may find are better suited for you than just proof sets or modern commemoratives. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am currently working on one myself along with several other collecting goals, and I&#039;ve found it to be a great experience. I chose to look for US coins from about the 1830s-2000 and after making a list of what I was interested in, I was able to discover new areas that interested me and it opened my eyes to appreciate the history of our coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>An example for me specifically is the seated series. Didn&#039;t know much about it, I basically stayed around the 1920-1960s era half dollars at the time before I started my type set. Well after getting a few seated coins I realized I liked them and they had a wide array of denominations and varieties. I personally grew a fancy for the 1853 Half dollar and quarter specifically, both beautiful coins, and now I own examples of both. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe I would&#039;ve eventually owned these coins anyway at some point, but I definitely know I stumbled onto them directly through my efforts to build that type set. </p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever you decide just do what works for you and what you like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
