<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 178430, member: 4552"]Go to the USMints web site and buy proof or uncirc sets of coins. For the Red Book on coins for education purposes try the Walmart Web site. About the cheapest prices for coin books I've found. Always type in coin shows in your computer search system and enter the state you live in for a decent collection of coin shows and go to as many as you can. Make sure you don't go nuts and buy everything in site. Just do a lot of window shopping and ask, ask, ask questions. If a dealer isn't helpful, you'll know to make a note never to buy anything from him. Also, check if there are any coin stores or stores with coin counters in them. Some flea markets have coin dealers also. Do a lot of window shopping before you buy a coin. Learn as much as you can about coins. Depending on the size and amount of coin shows in your area, they are usually the place I learn the most about dealers. Never buy on line unless you really know what you are doing. Also, printing out some of these topics on this forum can be just as educational as going to coin shows, talking to dealers at stores or on line dealers. AND it will only cost you a little electricity to run your computer and a little paper. Lots and lots cheaper that running around wasting gas in your car.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
