<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 757324, member: 3726&quot;]See Franks&#039;s post and then read it again.&nbsp; Before deciding on something get a red book or find a book on something you are interested in.&nbsp; Read it, then start looking at coins, maybe working or talking to dealers about the coin of interest - and then start buying.&nbsp; Maybe it will prevent you from making some of the mistakes others have made by not learning enough before buying. See this thread for some of the <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t33422/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t33422/">mistakes</a> we have made.&nbsp; Always remember to have fun collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing wrong with dimes, but look at some of the other things people have done.&nbsp; Search on Lehigh and see his war nickel set, search on kanga and see his amazing type set, The penny lady for wonderful IHC&#039;s.&nbsp; Personally I like the idea of a graded(PCGS or NGC) 20th century type set(no gold) first.&nbsp; From there maybe pick one and do a complete set in a certain grade - like speedy and his franklins, etc.&nbsp; There are a lot of choices and getting some books first will only help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
