<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andy21us, post: 538728, member: 2452&quot;]First of all Welcome to the Forum! Everyone has giving you some good advice as most everyone will on this site. The best advice that I can give you is take your time and pick out the coins that interest you the most and read everything that you can about those coins before you buy them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Strike IT Rich With Pocket Change by Allen &amp; Potter is a good book but it only covers coins from 1960 to 2004 and dose not cover a lot of the Varieties and Errors that you may find. Cherrypickers&#039; Books, United States Type Coins, GNC Grading Guide for Modern U.S. Coins are some good books to start with.</p><p><br /></p><p>When buying coins, buy from someone you know and trust at first. As you become more knowledgeable of the coins you are interest in then Ebay, coin shows, and dealers whould be a good sourse. Stay away from buying from the shows on TV.</p><p><br /></p><p>Storing coins is up to what you can affordand and your preference. 2x2&#039;s, books, folders. But stay away from PVC!</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as price guides they are only intended as a guide and will not give you the accurate value of your coins, but one of the better one that I use is the Gray Sheet (<a href="http://www.graysheet.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.graysheet.com" rel="nofollow">www.graysheet.com</a>). </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few sites that will help you on grading and what to look for.</p><p><a href="http://www.linclncentresourse.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.linclncentresourse.com" rel="nofollow">www.linclncentresourse.com</a></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com" rel="nofollow">www.pcgs.com</a></p><p><a href="http://www.coinlink.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinlink.com" rel="nofollow">www.coinlink.com</a></p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com" rel="nofollow">www.coinfacts.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you find these suggestion helpfull and if you have any more question please do not hesitate to ask.
