<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 8076056, member: 103207"]Over time you will learn the correct terminology, no big deal. Coin talk is a good site to get information from. There are a few guys that tend to put some collectors down. Don't let any one's comments bother you. I'm going to tell you a secret. Most collectors started out collecting with either very limited knowledge or no knowledge at all about coins. I got hooked very young when my grandmother gave me a Walking Liberty half dollar to buy a bag of plastic army men. I think I was 4 or 5 at the time. I bought the army men but, really wanted to keep the half dollar too. My coin budget was very small in the beginning. I was buying Lincoln cents to fill my blue folder for 5 to 25 cents. Over the next 59 years my budget has grown and my knowledge has also. I advise any one that collects coins to buy some books on the coins you like. Some information may be on the internet but, sometimes it can be hard to find and incomplete. The basic RED BOOK is ok but, it's very limited. If you like Morgan dollars there are some great books you can buy. Go to Wizard Coin Supply and check out the books they offer for sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
