<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Johnson, post: 2682272, member: 66485&quot;]Leahred..</p><p>I haven&#039;t read all the other posts but I <b>wouldn&#039;t</b> recommend the Red Book on purchasing coins..&nbsp; Red Book is a retail guide based on last years sales and trends..&nbsp; I recommend getting a current monthly supplement and a weekly grey sheet from (link below)..&nbsp; One of each should last you a couple of months while you are starting out.. I am a dealer and I only get a couple of each during the year unless spot prices of silver drop or spike..</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.greysheet.com/publications/greysheetdetail" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.greysheet.com/publications/greysheetdetail" rel="nofollow">https://www.greysheet.com/publications/greysheetdetail</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I say this is that silver and gold, within a lot of coins you will be collecting fluctuate, and the trends are current and not several months to over a year old..&nbsp; This greysheet is a dealer price guide and is what most dealers use to buy and sell to other dealers and from coins that come to their shop or show table.</p><p><br /></p><p>Go to local shows and auctions..&nbsp; some online auctions are good, ebay is not..</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay is a good place to buy supplies, if you dig and have patience you can pick up a good share of the supplies on your list for a fraction of the price, mostly from collectors who bought too much or just didn&#039;t get into it like they wanted..&nbsp; I would also buy the supplies once you have the coins you have in your possession, this will save you overbuying, buying in bulk does you no good if you have it sitting on a shelf or box collecting dust...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
