<p>[QUOTE=&quot;micbraun, post: 3605131, member: 54036&quot;]If I wanted to spend my first $1000 dollars in US collectible coins, I’d buy a RD/RB Indian head cent, a decent AU Bust half dollar and also a pre-1933 gold coin. Common years only, high AU or MS preferred, CAC if possible and only decent looking and problem-free examples. No more than 3 coins, because a nice one will be about $350 each. I’d keep them for a while, look at them from time to time and try to figure out which one I like most. If there’s a winner, maybe that’s the series I should focus on in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>The red book for each series is a must have. I mentioned CAC because new collectors tend to make mistakes. I would have a look at the price guides, but I wouldn’t search for bargains, because a nice coin comes with a nice price tag too. I really hope this helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: here’s a nice Indian head $2.5 which is in the price range I mentioned. It’s one of my most recent acquisitions:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]965202[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965203[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
