[QUOTE="cmbdii, post: 40619, member: 655"]I started by pocket change, and bank rolls I assume you mean coins that others have already handled?? That is a great way to collect, Then just replenish the rolls or spend them and get new rolls!! In so far as all of this Hype on TOP GRADES, Decide are you a collector or an investor?? High dollar return is slow in this hobby and if your looking for FAST return this is not the place. If you want to collect one of each coin minted and want to fill a slot then this is a fun hobby. Now I see "First Strike" and last night I seen "EARLY First Strike" Good God man these grading nuts are out of control!! HYPE is one thing, But the BS going on now has just directed me to a few old time dealers that care for the hobby and to the mint,(Which is getting far worse) Just plan on enjoying your self and READ up on the series you collect. Polish your own brain and don't rely on anyones opinion to a fault! I started collecting in the 50's and have seen SO MANY changes!![/QUOTE]
