<p>[QUOTE="longshot, post: 2359522, member: 76266"]Plenty of reading and not too much spending at first is good advice. The more knowledgeable you are the better collector you will be. It might take some exploring to decide what stimulates and holds your interest. How much of a challenge as far as cost, and how important completing a set is to you, are also considerations. But really, whether you join the Morgan crowd ( nicely detailed design, some with neat toning, relatively easy to learn to grade, and just tons of coins to look at and chose from ), or a more challenging series ( like the early copper you mentioned ), or something else - ( some of us aren't real structured, I buy a variety of stuff tho' there is something to be said for learning a couple of series really well ) the important thing is too enjoy it! So collect what you like. Lots of different ways to collect coins, none of them wrong. Just be aware that there are many overgraded and overpriced coins out there. So do your homework, ask questions, and looking at lots of coins in PCGS & NGC holders will help you train your eye. Happy Collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
