<p>[QUOTE=&quot;genstonewall, post: 1642108, member: 43780&quot;]I recently graduated college and got interested in collecting coins and I&#039;m looking for advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m interested in peace dollars, walking liberty halves, and mercury dimes but I&#039;m open to other U.S. silver coin suggestions. I purchased a couple of coins from eBay and a couple Morgan dollars for $30 each from Littleton Coin Company but I&#039;m not sure if I got a fair deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>After doing some research I&#039;m worried about cleaned or over graded coins and over paying. I&#039;m interested in U.S. silver coins for both the history and the investment in silver (coins that will hold their value better in the event silver went down in price). I&#039;m interested in putting them away for the long term.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like now is a good time to buy silver. I&#039;m looking at APMEX right now to put in an order (around $1,000). Here is what I had in mind:</p><p><br /></p><p>- $10 Walking Liberty Halves - 90% Silver 20-Coin Roll (XF) - $288.50 (<a href="http://www.apmex.com/Product/43925/10_Walking_Liberty_Halves___90_Silver_20_Coin_Roll_XF.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com/Product/43925/10_Walking_Liberty_Halves___90_Silver_20_Coin_Roll_XF.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.apmex.com/Product/43925/10_Walking_Liberty_Halves___90_Silver_20_Coin_Roll_XF.aspx</a>) - Is this a good condition and price?</p><p>- $5 Mercury Dimes - 90% Silver 50-Coin Roll (Extra Fine) - $176.75 (<a href="http://www.apmex.com/Product/44583/5_Mercury_Dimes___90_Silver_50_Coin_Roll_Extra_Fine.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com/Product/44583/5_Mercury_Dimes___90_Silver_50_Coin_Roll_Extra_Fine.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.apmex.com/Product/44583/5_Mercury_Dimes___90_Silver_50_Coin_Roll_Extra_Fine.aspx</a>)&nbsp; - Is this a good condition and price?</p><p>- Is investing in a set of Silver American Eagles a good idea (1986-present) - <a href="http://www.apmex.com/Category/160/Silver_Eagles___Uncirculated_2013__Prior.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com/Category/160/Silver_Eagles___Uncirculated_2013__Prior.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.apmex.com/Category/160/Silver_Eagles___Uncirculated_2013__Prior.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d appreciate any advice on getting started with coin collecting and buying U.S. silver for the first time? I&#039;m also interested in pennies (Flying Eagle, Large Cent, Half Cent, and 2 Cent). Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
