Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 648459, member: 4552"]WELCOME TO THE FORUMMMMMMMMM. First I recommend you look around for a book called The Red Book by Whitman Publishing. Tons of general information. Next try the <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.coppercoins.com</a> web site. The person there has two books out and the first sections explain how coins are made, the die making process, double dies and just lots of other stuff about coins. Might be able to buy one from that web site. Next I recommend trying Google or Yahoo for coin shows in your area. Some have many, many books, pamphlets, magazines, etc about coins. Also, talking to so many professionals you get a little free information.What are the easiest coins to put together to make a set. That one is easy. The Lincoln Cent of course. 1. cheap to get a good start. Each coin is only a penny you know. 2. So many millions and billions made they are every where. 3. You can buy a bag of them for $50 and spend a lot of hours looking for all kinds of them. Some for your Album, some for the errors. 4. They are sold at flea markets, coin shows, coin stores, ebay, here, other coin web sites and on and on and on. 5. A great coin to ask your friends, neighbors, relatives if they have an old jar, can, box, etc of those laying around.As to those 1943 Steel Cents. Stop looking for those. I collect them and if you start collecting them, there will be less for me. :goofer::smileI presently have several thousand of them and you can't have any so there. :goof: Actually if you look around at flea markets you should really see those 1943 cents for about $0.15 to $1.00. One seller at a flea market I go to usually has hundreds of them.[/QUOTE]
