<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 470476, member: 5233"]Welcome! Like the others said, pick up the Red Book and read through it. I wouldn't take the prices listed in the book to heart, but it does have a lot of good general information about all the different types of US coins. Find one you like and have at it. Here is the amazon.com link for Red Book so you know what you're looking for: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Official-Red-Book-United-States/dp/0794824943/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228188890&sr=8-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Official-Red-Book-United-States/dp/0794824943/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228188890&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Official-Red-Book-United-States/dp/0794824943/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228188890&sr=8-1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As far as collecting out of circulation...there are some out there with value, although probably not that many. I started collecting coins like most, just picking them out of circulation and trying to put together a set. It is a cheap way to start and a fun thing to do. You won't find anything "really" valuable that way (probably...you never know), but it is fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. There are many people here who love to collection coins and who love to share their knowledge.
