<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WeirdFishes, post: 1632596, member: 41261&quot;]Great advice. Read any and all coin books you can get your hands on. I know you may want to buy some coins and this can be ok as long as you purchase coins that are inexpensive (dont spend more than $10 on a coin at this point, that money would be better spent on numismatic literature). As the saying goes Buy the Book, Before you Buy the Coin. I spent half a year just reading books before I made my first substantial coin purchase. Also, generally speaking, it is better to own one $500 coin than 10 $50 coins, but to each his own. You will better understand what coin types interest you and what direction you want to go in with your collecting. Working at a coin shop is one heck of a bonus too, so all in all I think things will work out great for you. There are far to many people (some are CoinTalk members) who jump into the deep end, spending big money on bad coins. Dont be one them. Knowledge is the key and thankfully it is fairly inexpensive. Welcome and dont hesitate to PM if you have any additional queries.</p><p>-Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
