<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 950391, member: 25357&quot;]You&#039;re starting out much like I did,&nbsp; with coins that are in circulation.&nbsp; I filled out a couple of state quarter albums from coins I&#039;d find in circulation.&nbsp; Then, as I got more into the hobby, I noticed how appealing some of the older yet still common US coins were.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then I started buying coins no longer in circulation;&nbsp; classics like the Mercury Dimes and Buffalo nickels, which can be had in the lower grades for a few bucks apiece, minus the keys.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I now collect coins by series/denomination, date and mint mark.&nbsp; I&#039;ll usually stick to an issue/series until I&#039;ve filled out the album.&nbsp; I mostly collect US coins that are no longer found in circulation; Morgan dollars, Peace dollars, right now I&#039;m working on completing a set of Standing Liberty Quarters in VF-XF.&nbsp; I try and keep the sets in roughly the same grade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The beauty of this hobby is that you can collect any way you like.&nbsp; It&#039;s your collection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I spend a lot more on coins than I should, but it&#039;s my passion.&nbsp; Some day I may sell, but that day hasn&#039;t come yet.&nbsp; Right now I just have fun accumulating and watching the value of my collection increase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
