<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bsowa1029, post: 24658701, member: 34652&quot;]Great topic of discussion.</p><p>For every collector it’s going to be different.</p><p>If you generalize a list you could easily have 1000 different versions.</p><p>For me my top three are a 1955 DDO Lincoln cent, a flowing hair half dollar and a $10 no motto Indian in gem condition.</p><p>None of those coins are obscenely expensive, however they are not within my current coin budget so for me they are holy grails.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, welcome to the forum. I see you just joined a week ago. If you are serious about coins then definitely stick around. There are members here that many would consider experts.</p><p>I was in your shoes 12 years ago when I joined cointalk. I too felt a little overwhelmed. I had no idea what direction to go in.</p><p>Several pieces of advice I can give would be to read as much as you can about coins - this forum is a great resource, look at as many coins as you can - pictures are fine, in hand is best and again this forum is a great resource and lastly, don’t make any big purchases until you feel comfortable with your coin knowledge.</p><p>It’s ok to make mistakes along the way. That’s how we all learn. Small mistakes are easier to handle that big ones.</p><p>A US type set is a great place to start.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
