<p>[QUOTE="boxerchip, post: 733656, member: 19303"]First off, welcome and nice to see some other young (in their 20s) collectors around here, some times I get to feelin everyones about 200 years old who collects coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> haha</p><p><br /></p><p>I started collecting when I was a kid, but never got serious till I was about 21. I started off with Morgans but decided it was too hard for me being a noobie to judge value on any rare or key morgans. I didnt have a problem buying the 20-50$ ones, but the bigger guys I felt less comfortable with.</p><p>Now Im fine with it, but at the time it was the right move to move on for me. Moderns are much more easy to judge (for me) so I went with Silver eagles, Silver maples with privy marks are GREAT fun to collect, and then I picked up some silver buffalos. After those Silver bufs I wanted the gold ones, so thats where I sit right now...</p><p>I would say its better to collect a bit of everything, never pass up a GREAT deal just because you "dont collect those" but also dont expand your collection too fast, take time with what you collect, learn about them, learn what the market is for those coins etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I would say its better to collect a bit of everything, never pass up a GREAT deal just because you "dont collect those" but also dont expand your collection too fast, take time with what you collect, learn about them, learn what the market is for those coins etc.[/QUOTE]
