<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 114074, member: 4552&quot;]As already mentioned several times now the Red Book by R.S.Yeoman and published by Whitman is the best for general information. If you are just starting out though I would suggest starting out with minimum investment in case you loose interest which happens to many individuals with all hobbies. Also, depending on your age you may find other items of greater interest later and money invested in coin collecting would be wasted. Then if you tried to dump it all you&#039;ld find not much profit from a short term hobby. Again, not knowing your location if there are any garage/yard sales, estate sales, flea markets, resale shops in your area, start with them for coin books. Also, for coins. If the book is a few years old, the information is still valid, only the prises of the coins is outdated. At garage/yard/estate sales you should always ask if there are any old jars or cans or boxes of coins they want to get rid of. Most people don&#039;t put them out for sale but take them to a bank. I&#039;ve really come accross some fantastic coins that way and at face value. I advise not starting with coins you have to buy every one. Find the types of coins you can fill a collection mostly from normal situations. Another thing you may want to do is ask freinds, neighbors, relatives if they to have any old coins they wouldn&#039;t mind parting with. Find coins you like and then spend the money doing further research on that denomination. And don&#039;t forget to join all the web sites on coins. For instance the PCGS&nbsp; web site, coppercoins.com, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
