<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1173183, member: 17919&quot;]When I was just starting out, I was advised NOT to buy the key coins first, for several reasons:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) It&#039;s better to start out with the cheap stuff because you can get a feel for a coin series without shelling out a lot of money.</p><p>2) With the cheap stuff, there is little haggling over grade, but with the more expensive stuff, what is bought as an EF may end up being sold as a VF.</p><p>3) There are lots of fakes of key date coins, and it&#039;s easy to get burned if you don&#039;t know what to look out for.</p><p>4) Coins that are considered &quot;keys&quot; now may not necessarily be considered &quot;keys&quot; later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
