<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 6273431, member: 105571&quot;]I can&#039;t advise about the dealers you mentioned, but here&#039;s a suggestion: I think this might satisfy your current desire for a broad but not deep dive into the world of US coinage and at a reasonable cost.&nbsp; You can indulge the collecting bug while you read and learn and hone your taste and also your grading ability - key atttributes for satisfying collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Consider collecting US types from say 1892 to present in grades you think you can afford.&nbsp; The choice of starting date encompasses many coin types and varieties and examples of each can be had in the common dates for quite low prices especially in the mid-grades.&nbsp; These include the Indian Head Cent and Lincoln cents; Liberty, Buffalo and Jefferson nickels;&nbsp; Barber dimes, quarters and half dollars; Mercury and Roosevelt dimes; Standing Liberty and Washington quarters;&nbsp; Walking Liberty, Franklin, Kennedy and commemorative half dollars; and Morgan, Peace, Eisenhower, Anthony, and Sacagawea dollars.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You may eventually decide you like type collecting and want to expand your horizon farther back into the past, and at greater expense I might add.&nbsp; OTOH, you may choose to focus on one or two series.&nbsp; But the 1892-to-present type set gives you time to learn while not spending a fortune.</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to a great hobby and to CT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
