Don&#039;t buy high-end coins at first, start out small so you catch the drift of things. Go to a dealer and tell him you want to purchase some various cleaned coins, whizzed coins, etc. But make sure you are paying a very very low price for them, you will soon find out how to spot a cleaned/whizzed coin, books books books, read read read. Although when I first got into coins, I didn&#039;t have anything but a blackbook, luckily enough I did not get ripped but once for a 3.00 coin, which is not always the case for some who loose 100 - 500.00 their first time around, i&#039;ve even met those who have been buying copies for authentic coin prices, not even knowing it untill they met me, sadly enough, they ended up loosing thousands and thousands of dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Set your goals on a just a couple of series to specialize in, it&#039;s far and few for one dealer to know anything and everything about every single type of coin, although, it&#039;s always good to have the best variety of coins for sale. As a collector, I am ( beginning ) to specialize in seated, barber, and bust coinage, as a seller I specialize in wheat cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
