<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2620746, member: 80121&quot;]I started collecting, many years ago, just like other collectors of my age group, we collected Lincoln Cents. I&#039;ve started my grandson on Lincoln Cents, then Jefferson Nickels, State Quarters, and now Washington Quarters. I find the best way to start a new collector is with affordable coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I try to discourage him from watching the TV coin shows because of the high prices, I don&#039;t want him scared away before he really gets into the hobby. Some of the TV Shows show more four digit priced coins than anything else, and for a YN that can be discouraging and make them think they may as well quit, because of the high cost. I just bought an Ike Set from a dealer for $170, I&#039;ll give my grandson the empty album and from time to time I&#039;ll give him the Ikes to fill the album.</p><p><br /></p><p>SBAs are starting to do well, I think it&#039;s the 1979 and 1981 Type twos that are helping the series. For most young collectors, they have never seen the coin because it stopped circulating before they were born. My local bank is a good source for both Ikes and SBAs, the tellers are glad to get rid of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
