<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 515797, member: 10103"]You sound a little like me when I started collecting again back in early 2000 Whitelight. Prior to that I was mostly a proof/mint set collector but with the help of all the folks on this forum I was shown that there is much more to collecting than just ordering stuff from the mint. As was already stated earlier by Borgo and Cloud coin shows are a great way to learn and collect at the same time. A trusted dealer in your area also helps but sometimes it takes awhile to build a relationship with guys like that. </p><p>I would definitely recommend purchasing a Red Book or borrowing one from your local library. It's a great reference source. This forum is another great resource for accessing information....ask lots of questions. There's always somebody around who can answer just about anything you want to know. Pick up a copy of Coin World if you want to get a rough idea of what a particular coin is worth. There are online sources too.</p><p>If you're looking to buy or sell check out the "open forum" right here on this site....the guys are great.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Oh.....BTW.....Welome to the forum.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
