<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 625619, member: 15309&quot;]I think that newbies should collect a series that is affordable, is found in a broad range of grades, and allows for a relatively cheap grading education.&nbsp; There is only one series that has all of these elements.&nbsp; And that coin is:</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b><font face="Book Antiqua"><font size="5"><span style="color: Blue">THE MORGAN DOLLAR</span></font></font></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars%204%20Sale/MorganDollar1886PCGSMS64H-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For a minimum of expense, the new collector can learn how to grade coins from G-4 all the way to MS66.&nbsp; Once a new collector has gained the basic proficiencies of market grading, they will be better equipped to start collecting whatever series peaks their interest without making very costly mistakes. </p><p><br /></p><p>I encourage all new collectors to start by purchasing only PCGS and NGC slabbed coins until they have learned to grade coins on their own within one grade of the TPG assigned grades on a consistent basis.&nbsp; If I had to choose another series other than Morgan Dollars, it would be the Franklin Half Dollar.&nbsp; The problem with the Franklin Half is that the FBL designation can be very intimidating to the newbie.&nbsp; Mercury Dimes are also a good choice but, I find that learning to grade minor coinage is much more difficult than the large coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
