<p>[QUOTE=&quot;General_Godlike, post: 337202, member: 12581&quot;]Hello all. Im new to this site and already got a warm welcome. Since I am so new to this ( this site and coin collecting in general ) here are some of my questions and concerns. There is such a vast majority of items out there for sale from coins to paper money. I chose coins. Now with that being said, I know there is a lot to learn and a lot of reading and things are always changing. Ive bought about 5 books (whitman series red,blue and a few others) but these are a few questions cause i dont want to bore you guys to death.....</p><p><br /></p><p>1. is it better to buy sets,series, loose coins of ONE particular thing meaning quarters, dimes, american eagles etc, or is it better to have a wide variety of things?</p><p><br /></p><p>2.Where do you find a local dealer other than looking through a phone book? ( someone who is knowledgeable , and wont take advantage of a new guy )</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Is is better to look for coins at garage sales,coin expos,estate sales, Ebay ( the prices look a little inflated ) or a local dealer?</p><p><br /></p><p>4.Other than personal preference what are good items to shoot for. (complete sets,proofs,loose items,)</p><p><br /></p><p>and finally...5. I just bought about 55 coins on ebay most were indian cents a few proof sets, and about 30 eagles ( silver ) ranging from uncir to proofs. Was that a bad move?:desk:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
