<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 542947, member: 3726&quot;]I take it you are talking Indian Head Cents?&nbsp; If not ignore the rest of this post. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The first thing I recommend is getting some of Rick Snow&#039;s books.&nbsp; One of these is the red book on Flying Eagles and Indian Head Cents.&nbsp; Learn how to grade them - Rick Snow has a guide on his website(indiancent.com).</p><p><br /></p><p>Are you looking for high grade coins? If so then check Rick Snows web site, Heritage and, DLRC, Teletrade, JJ Teapart, and Ebay. Stick to the big 4 if buying graded coins. Just remember not all 64&#039;s and 65&#039;s are equal - you might like red coins best, but I prefer brown or red-brown.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you are looking for low grade lots then ebay can be good - just remember most of those lots will include some problem coins.&nbsp; I have gotten 2 or 3 decent runs of IHC&#039;s off ebay in the f to vf range.&nbsp; It takes time and you will find some of the keys and semi-keys will be expensive even in a low grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still get the book first, learn to grade, decide what you like and then look around a lot before buying.&nbsp; Also do you have a local dealer where you can shop and look at some in hand?</p><p><br /></p><p>Have I mentioned get some books - it is really hard to make recommendations with out really knowing what your goal is.&nbsp; I enjoy them and have three sets going - high grade, middle grade and low grade. I have one complete, but I am upgrading a few in the high grade, then moving those coins to the middle grade, and those coins to low grade.&nbsp; It is fun to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
