<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24658218, member: 101855&quot;]The definition of the “holy grail” varies from collector to collector. One thing I would caution you about is getting hung up on the latest modern coin that is currently popular. There is a long list of modern coins, like the 1973-S silver Proof Ike Dollar, 1960 small cent and 1999-S silver Proof set which were very popular and expensive at one point and can now be had for much lower prices. It’s often best to look at older coins that interest you and wait on the current hot item until the dust has settled on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I started collecting in 1961 when I was 11 years old. In high school my “holy grail” was Indian cents and U.S. type coins (one coin of each design). The interest in the Indian cent waned, but the type coins stayed with me. I completed that set around 2012, 50 years later! Since then I have collected at least one coin for each British king and about 300 years of Roman emperors. </p><p><br /></p><p>The hobby is vast, and you ultimately pick you shots if you become serious about it. What’s important is what makes you happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
