<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fusiafinch, post: 869464, member: 18382&quot;]Pennyholic,</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many sources and ways to acquire coins. The Blue and Brown boxes that you mention are only one way to get the coins. Those are in the original mint packaging, and since you are going to remove them anyway to put in your album, it&#039;s not necessary for you to buy them that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there a local coin shop near you? If so, drop by and ask the dealer to show you a few Ikes. Or see if there&#039;s a coin show near you. Also, look for reputable sellers on ebay with very good feedback and buy one from them. You can also buy &quot;slabbed&quot; coins if you want some measure of protection (against doctored coins or overgraded coins). But those are more expensive. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can look in the ads for Coin World and see if anyone&#039;s selling Ikes and get a few that way. Over time, you&#039;ll get to know some reputable dealers and sellers that you know will provide you with decent coins. But this takes time. Experience and learning are more important than the complete coin set. Just start small, get to know some dealers, learn how to grade accurately, be able to identify quality coins from poor coins, and you&#039;ll do well over time. Just don&#039;t be in a hurry. Enjoy the hunt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
