<p>[QUOTE="manny9655, post: 4534774, member: 112417"]I can't see how in the world anyone can collect coins (or anything else) without a price guide. A Red or Blue Book is ESSENTIAL. But magazine price guides like Coin World and Coins Magazine are OK too. You're right, and education is the best thing. Red Books or Blue Books are not that expensive, and if you are on a budget, you can still pick up last year's edition at a discount. I used to be a stamp dealer. You'd be surprised at how many people would buy wallpaper and sheets of stamps from the post office without a clue as to what they were worth or how many gazillions were printed. KNOW YOUR HOBBY. Ask questions of dealers and people more knowledgeable than you. Subscribe to a hobby magazine. Join a coin club. To put it simply, try to educate yourself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
