<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1203820, member: 26302&quot;]I would reiterate what others have said. My list for you would be:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. LEARN. This cannot be underestimated. Learn from books, learn from older collectors, absorb all of the information you can. This will serve you forever.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Do not buy problem coins. Go for a lower grade if needed, but do not buy bent, horribly cleaned, corroded, etc. These never will be wanted by collectors. This will be hard since many dealer have these coins in their cases, but resist the urge and try to buy what the dealers DON&#039;T have, nice collectible problem free coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Start with a type set. Completely different coins are always more interesting than same coins with different dates. Try to buy some different types while you are deciding on what to concentrate on.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Stay away from &quot;hot&quot; items. If everyone is talking about a certain series, you can be certain prices have already risen. Try to find a nice quiet area of the hobby to concentrate on. You will have less competition and a better chance for deals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just some advice from an older collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
