<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 705389, member: 4552"]1. Sounds like your an YN which means you are just stating out in coins.</p><p>2. Also, sounds like your undicided about what to get involved in next with this hobby of coins. </p><p>3. The above means you have plenty of time to decide what your likes and dislikes will, should, could, might be in the future. </p><p>4. I know your looking for some expert advice and that is what you posted. However, that is actually a really tuff question since no one here knows you, your availability with coins, how long you plan on being interested, how much money you'll have tomorrow, etc.</p><p>5. Your question to others is sort of like asking who should I marry, what car should I buy, where should I go for my vacation, etc. So much depends on you. </p><p>6. Now with all my pessimistic statements, I'll now make my suggestions. To start with, I think you should purchase a few books with that money on coins. Such as the Red Book by Whitman Publishing. Flip through books like that to see what catches your eye(s), not sure how many you have. </p><p>7. If you purchase something that someone else tells you and you don't like it, what are you going to do, yell at them? Never listen to them again?</p><p>8. Go to a coin store or coin show if possible. There you could really do some Christmas shopping or what is called window shopping. Just look until you know that is for you. </p><p>9. If you find a coin show in your area, go to those. Greatest place to purchase or sell a coin. Also, if the right one, very educational. And remember, compared to ebay, no postage, handling, restocking, insurance, etc. fees at a coin show. </p><p>10. However, I'll still throw in my 2 Cents. If I were you and if your young enough to plan a little for tomorrow, I'd start ordering Proof and Uncirc Sets from the US Mint. I've been doing that since the 50's. Some are really poor in value and some are really fantastic. You never know. </p><p>11.
