<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 744358, member: 4552&quot;]WELCOME TO THE FORUM. </p><p>Lots of questions there. </p><p>I suggest you first look into the USMints web site, get on thier mailing list. Purchase one Proof and one Uncirculated set each year. Don&#039;t waste money on an Album for those since eventually in the future you will have hundreds of them, hopefully. I started that a long, long time ago. Placed them in boxes and they are growing massively. Now I purchase about 10 to 15 sets of each every year and give many away for Christmas presents along with the latest version of the Red Book. </p><p>As to collections of coins. I too collect as many different coins at one time when possible. I go to lots of coin shows, have gotten to know many dealers by simply talking to them. I&#039;ve found that many dealers purchase collections from people, take the coins out and place in flips for sale at shows. They usually throw out the Albums. Several of these dealers have brought them to shows for me FREE rather than throwing them out. Any I don&#039;t want I give to someone I know that sells at flea markets. The ones I do want I just start collecting that coin. </p><p>Now with well over 100 Whitman Albums I collect almost everything. </p><p>I&#039;ve found that I acquire my greatest amounts of coins from flea markets, garage/yard/estate sales. Followed by coin shows and then coin stores last. Never on the internet anymore. If you can find garage/yard/estate sales remember one thing. You have to ASK. People do not put coins out on tables at those. So you have to ASK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
