<p>[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 2297614, member: 32619"]For anyone else who may read this thread - one of the great appeals of this hobby is that it can be enjoyed on any budget, so long as you manage your expectations. Have a dollar? Get change and start trying to work on a set of circulating coinage. Try to collect all 50 states from change, and upgrade from change as better examples present themselves. Work on the State Parks quarters. Maybe coin roll hunt for a set of Lincolns. Want to collect world? There are ways to do that without leaving home. Ancients? Yep. My cheapest was $0.99, twelve were only $5.42, and there are many that were less than $20. Maybe something even more out there like exonumia. Merchant tokens from your state/county/city/whatever. The bulk of my Air Force trade token collection was bought for less than $10, some were even less than face. A patient collector could hunt for errors and varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
