<p>[QUOTE="spirityoda, post: 1954544, member: 44633"]buy some used books. learn how to grade coins. start out cheap then after you are more familiar with coin grades then venture out to more pricey coins. do NOT touch your grandfathers collection unless you have his permission to do so. If you are good lol he might give you a few choice coins. ? I have been collecting coins for about 16 years now. I really enjoy it. so much to learn still. Coin collecting is an ongoing learning experience. there's always something new to learn. I collect mostly world coins but have some favorite United States coins too. When buying coins I always ask for a discount if I am buying several coins from the same dealer. sometimes if they have 2-5 of the same coin most dealers will offer a discount on it. some dealers are very firm with their pricing depending on which coin it is of course. get used to firm prices but always ask for discounts. do NOT insult dealers with very low price offers. that insults them (I had 1 dealer say to me "go away and do not come back"). I learned a very important lesson that day 9 years ago (be courtious and respect the dealers prices...but ask politely for a discount.) most important thing with coins is to have fun with it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
