<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 109006, member: 4552"]One more thing to attempt to help you decide on what to collect would be availability of certain types of coinage. For example if you don't want to get heavily involved monitarily at present you may want to just consider modern day types of coins such as Lincoln Cents, Jefferson Nickels, etc. For those types of coins you could even just go to a bank and buy large quantities, look through them and return what you don't want. If there are garage/yard sales, estate sales and flea markets in your area, you may want to start checking them out for coins. The common modern day coins can actually be rewarding and fun to try to collect. One great book I bought on pennies is Looking Through Lincoln Cents. You could go nuts just trying to find all the different types of errors listed in that book. Another thing you may want to check out is the availability of Albums to put you coins into if that is your goal. Just like any hobby, coins can run into money with accessories such as magnifiers, coin albums, 2x2 holders, coin books, plastic rolls, etc., etc. so figure out what you want and good luck. Glad to have you here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
