<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 172315, member: 3011"]While studying and reading about coins is very very [did I mention very] important, this can be a somewhat dull way to enter the hobby since it's too slow for many people. But there is nothing to stop you from collecting out of pocket change or from rolls of coins you can get at the bank for face value. From this, you can collect state quarters, fill holes in inexpensive coin holders available at many bookstores, collect wheat cents, look for silver half dollars, pull out the pre-1982 copper cents, etc. You can also ask family members if they have any old or foreign coins they don't want. That can be interesting too. The nice part about this approach is that you can't lose any significant amount of money because there are no collecting mistakes. So get started. The expensive and complicated collecting can start after you complete your study.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
