<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 531650, member: 4552"]Your doing what 99.99% of the collectors on Earth probably did. I know that is how I started. For now, unless you have the money, don't rush off and purchase a pile of books. Use that money on coins, Albums, 2x2's, etc. The main thing is the Red Book for beginners. It is full of all the basic information you need for now. Also, don't worry about the grades of coins when you first start collecting. That is one of the ways people get discouraged and stop collecting thinking they have to have all MS coins and just can't afford them. </p><p>When I started I first attempted to just fill Albums. After some time I started second Albums of the same things and moved all the best into Album #1. I've been doing this for a long time now and have over 100 Whitman Albums with all the #1 Albums in the best or highest grades. </p><p>If you start out with just coins, eventually you WILL acquire better and better ones. And you will not get discouraged attempting to fill an Album. Also, just looking for a coin you need is a lot more fun than buying one all the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
