<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 5247324, member: 17665"]IMHO coin collecting is still an entry level hobby. That's how most of started, culling through change of our own or our parents/grandparents. But, and this is most important, if you tell kids or even adults that if they only collect the best of everything or it will never be worth anything, you change the meaning of entry level. All newbies can still buy modern coin folders and look for change to fill the spaces. When they get better at their hobby and start making their own money they can leave the entry level and buy better coins. Then come the more expensive albums and better date coins in better condition. You only eliminate an entry level hobby by thinking you must start at the top and not work your way up the ladder. And there are so many series of world coins that have both beautiful designs, history, low mintages, reasonable prices that it boggles the mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
