<p>[QUOTE="mispoken, post: 1617683, member: 43491"]Alright, so lets say I choose a 20th Century US Type collection. I look at the different coins one of the books has and the first one listed is "Indian Head Cent". So, the question comes, where do I get something like that? I could go to a coin shop here in Chicago, and I will, as I think it will be great education. But for grins I turn to ebay. Here is one that looks pretty, but that doesn't mean anything: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1899-INDIAN-HEAD-CENT-XF-AU-XF-SHARP-STRIKE-/321057447650?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4ac083dee2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1899-INDIAN-HEAD-CENT-XF-AU-XF-SHARP-STRIKE-/321057447650?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4ac083dee2" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1899-INDIAN-HEAD-CENT-XF-AU-XF-SHARP-STRIKE-/321057447650?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4ac083dee2</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then I wonder, is that a fair price?
