[QUOTE="troyheights, post: 415554, member: 11271"][I]How to start?[/I] First, decide what you would like to collect. If you choose a modern issue you can dive headlong in with a trip to the bank for some rolls and a whitman album purchased from your local book seller. As you work on your collection, learn about your series of choice from online and printed sources. For everything else, find some good books on the series and learn as much as you can before spending any real money. With an affordable series like Morgans it will probably be both helpful and satisfying to purchase a couple of inexpensive coins for educational purposes. [I]Bargain bins, ebays and coins shows, oh my! [/I]Where you purchase and how much you spend will be determined by your budget and sense of aesthetics. I collect Franklin Halves and pretty much will not touch anything less than an MS64, but I also collect Lincolns and happily fill holes with coins in G4.[/QUOTE]
