<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FentonForche, post: 560090, member: 18064&quot;]Thanks for all the advice everyone. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I did go ahead and buy my first coins--a silver proof set of the 2006 state quarters. It wasn&#039;t a huge investment ($20), and I&#039;ve been collecting regular circulated sets of the state quarters for the past year, so I&#039;m fairly certain that my interest in that particular area won&#039;t wane. I do understand and appreciate the wisdom of not jumping in head first though without acquiring a lot of info.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am going to get a 2009 Red Book this evening from B&amp;N for a little light weekend reading.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, apparently the timing of this is good because there&#039;s a coin show coming up in my city (Sacramento) in two weeks, which should be a good learning opportunity. I may ration myself a small budget (20 or 30 bucks) to spend on something there, but I won&#039;t be making any significant purchases other than the silver proof sets for the foreseeable future...I plan on buying one of those per month over the next ten months. Though I may hold of on the 1999 set to see if the prices come down at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
