Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 7648970, member: 25270"]No one else can tell you what to collect. You just have to find what appeals to you. What got you into coins? Presumably there's something you like about them. So pursue that and see where it leads you. I loved the history. There was something magical to me about seeing that old date on something. The first time I had some coins with dates that started with 18 it was amazing, and the same with 17 and 16. At first I really liked big British pennies and big old Mexican bronze coins. Eventually I started buying everything, trying to get one of everything. Then I had a realization that what I was doing didn't make sense, so I started to do more of a type collection and get one of each type of coin. It's still evolving though, and your interests likely will too. If there are any coin shops where you live that offer a "junk bin" or value bin where it's just a big mix of coins and everything costs a certain low amount, digging through those is a great place to start. Less appealing is buying lots of coins on eBay, but if that's all you can get then it's a start too.[/QUOTE]
