[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1004820, member: 23626"]I think you should get a couple of folders for the nickles and Memorial cents to start. Price lists of coins are available on-line, so you can kind of determine values and rarity from that. Start filling the folders. Then you can always put in a nicer coin as you find them. Once you get a few in the holes, you will automatically look for the ones you need. It's an economical way to start. Eventually, you will want better books to hold the coins and reference books to learn about them. It's really a long term hobby that you can devote as much or as little time to as you wish. You can even set it aside for a bit and return later. But, most of us who search from circulation or rolls don;t want to wait. The earlier we find a coin, usually the better condition.
