[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3604803, member: 31533"]I agree you only can make a decision and part of it will be will you perhaps have some regrets about putting it in now when later you will have more experience and might make better choices. I can tell you that for the most part, my collecting has really evolved and the first few pieces I bought generally are ones I no longer have a lot of interest in. So, My advice is to instead maybe put in 5-600 and keep the rest for a splurge down the road. Get the one or two you think you will like in that range and then wait to see if in a year you still feel good about the purchase. In the meantime start learning all you can about some particular coins. But if you really have to spend, maybe get a few Barbers or Bust coinage. Don't think you can go too wrong with those. Just stay away from the details graded ones and try for between maybe F12-AU50 for them. If you think you like one of those, also join the society for them (I know Barbers have a collector's society).[/QUOTE]
