[QUOTE="kanga, post: 402756, member: 9270"]First, "collecting" and "future" [U]generally[/U] don't belong together. In [U]general[/U]: - "Collecting" belongs together with "enjoyment" . - "Future" belongs together with "investment". So decide which you prefer. Actually the two are not mutually exclusive, but one one is a normally a more prominent aim than the other, i.e., you can collect for enjoyment but in the back of your mind you are aware of the investment potential. One controlling factor is your wallet. It's hard to collect gold sovereigns on a farthing income. Best place to start is with something that is inexpensive and appeals to you. Use this to be your learning experience about grading, etc. Then if you lose interest your investment won't be large. If you start with expensive coins and only can afford a couple a year, you'll lose interest quickly. Learn to walk before you try running. [B]And buy the books.[/B][/QUOTE]
