<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1954438, member: 36248&quot;]Welcome.&nbsp; I am happy to see a nice young woman getting into this great hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if you have the money for a used copy of a few coin books, but Amazon has many used books for very cheap.&nbsp; I buy used books from them all the time, many are like 1 cent + 3.99 shipping.&nbsp; So I have a lot of $30 books I got for $4.00, and many look brand new.&nbsp; &nbsp; This would be one way to save money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like the &quot;pro&quot; version of redbook, since it&#039;s a lot larger, and lays flat when open, but I dont see any cheap used copies right now.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/United-States-Professional-Edition-Official/dp/079483972X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1405946726&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=red+book+professional+edition" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/United-States-Professional-Edition-Official/dp/079483972X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1405946726&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=red+book+professional+edition" rel="nofollow">Brand new, it&#039;s $21.43</a>, which is probably too much for you now, but try and save up for it.&nbsp;&nbsp; You could also ask your local library to buy a copy, and then you can check it out.&nbsp;&nbsp; My local library is really good about requests like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, World coins sell for really cheap by the pound.&nbsp; I believe [USER=16994]@LostDutchman[/USER] was selling a ton of world coins by the pound recently, so you reach out to him and see what the pricing would be.&nbsp; This would certainly be a great way to get the most &quot;bang for your buck&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Read a lot of info here, but dont take everything everyone says as gospel.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are collectors here from every walk of life, some smart, some dumb, some helpful, some mean.&nbsp;&nbsp; Avoid the mean and dumb ones, and you&#039;ll do great.&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; But it will take time to figure out who is who.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
