<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2390225, member: 36230&quot;]That&#039;s great! New collectors taking the time to learn, or being willing to pay someone else to do it for them, seem to be in the minority these days, so good for you. One doesn&#039;t need to actually own coins to partake in or enjoy this hobby, so there&#039;s no rush whatsoever to jump in to the actual purchasing/collecting aspects, especially when it comes to more costly material. If sitting on the sidelines and learning (not only about the series itself and cleaned coins, but also altered and counterfeit, how to identify original skin vs. simply acceptable surfaces, etc) is something you&#039;re okay with, by all means do so. However, if walkers indeed stay the focus of your interest, they offer an opportunity not available with every series, and that&#039;s early affordability. Even though I personally believe one, if genuinely knowledgeable enough to safely do so, should consider the keys earlier than later, with a set such as walkers there&#039;s absolutely nothing wrong with one in your situation working backwards, at least early on, which brings us to......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The short set (for which Dando also makes, or at least made, it&#039;s own album). All the necessary coins to complete said set are plentifully available well into higher MS grades at comparatively affordable prices, which means it&#039;s a relatively simple and painless set to do, and in fact, many circs can be had for at or very close to scrap. Depending on your tastes you may not have much of an interest in circ grades, but if later on when facing the costly dates in the full set, you may have to settle unless willing to break the bank, so paying attention to later very low value circs now could pay off in the long run. When you complete the short set, if still not ready to tackle the earlier dates, you could always extend it back into the 30&#039;S to a date/mint of your choosing; the beauty of &quot;set&quot; collecting is that there are no must-follow rules, and if an album isn&#039;t made for your choice, you can simply buy blanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is that while it&#039;s not necessary, if you&#039;re one who wants to collect now rather than later, you do have still-wise options that would also allow you to work towards your end goal while still in the earlier stages of learning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
