Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 104076, member: 4552"]Mostly everything GDJMSP said and I only can repeat. Absoutely get the Red Book. Just one more thing. If you want to become a coin collector you may want to start putting the coins in albums. That makes it all a little more fun to try to complete a set. However, some of those albums are expensive. There are several brands on the market. I use the Whitman Classic Albums. Start sorting them out as already noted by others here by denominations and types. Then put all the ones with no dates, such as the Buffalo Nickels off to the side. If you do decide to make albums I strongly advise NOT to use the ones where you push coins into a slot. Only use the ones where the coins fit into a space where there is visability front and back. Sone of the albums where you push the coins into a slot have glue in the slot to help hold the coin in place. This will help ruin the coin. Watch for Mercury Dimes with the reverse excessively turned from the obverse. Some are as much as 30 to 45 degrees off. There are so many things to watch for with that many I wish I were you.[/QUOTE]
