[QUOTE="Coinman1974, post: 330863, member: 12193"]Where to start... I have made alot of mistakes in this hobby, however none severe enough to keep me from enjoying it. Early on I used ebay alot and was literally in awe of what I was looking at Coins 100 or 200 years old, and I would bid away... Other mistakes were using the Kennedy Mint, thought I was getting a deal...... The worst mistake, and it was a few years into collecting that I finally fixed this. I enev bought any books to learn, just coins... I will quote a member here...buy the book before the coin. All in all, I have learned (and continue to do so) from my mistakes One thing I have learned aswell is ASK all questions. I would have saved alot of money and time had I done this in the beginning. You know the phrase there are no dumb questions, its true! Regards, S[/QUOTE]
