<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insomniac, post: 757015, member: 21995&quot;]If you haven&#039;t given it a look already, there&#039;s the numismatic acronym thread in the FAQ section, found here: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t1559/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t1559/">http://www.cointalk.com/t1559/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also found this page to be helpful in defining many terms, though it is pretty long and can be difficult to take in all at once: <a href="http://www.coin-collecting-guide-for-beginners.com/coin-collecting-terms.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coin-collecting-guide-for-beginners.com/coin-collecting-terms.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coin-collecting-guide-for-beginners.com/coin-collecting-terms.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are probably some things that aren&#039;t covered by either list, so if there is a term you can&#039;t find, I&#039;m sure someone would be happy to help out if you ask here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also recently started collecting, and one thing I&#039;ve often heard is &quot;Buy the book before the coin.&quot; The more information you can gather, the better! I found <i>Coin Collecting for Dummies</i> to be quite informative and easy to understand, and I highly recommend it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
