<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numan, post: 1041034, member: 13259&quot;]If I were just starting out in a collection, one possible route would be to find a particular grade range of a specific circulated coin series and then go to dealers, coin shows, auctions, etc to find the earliest examples of them.&nbsp; I believe that the early wheat cents, or Indian Heads, for example, even in lower, circulated condition, are very exciting to many people looking to get into the hobby.&nbsp; A simple cent, over 100 years old that you can&#039;t find in circulation any longer, but can buy as a coin collector, is I believe, what many new collectors want to have first -- fill part of an album through the bargain bin at a show or coin shop or even buy some from their &quot;better&quot; 2x2 notebook coins at circulated grades to get the set going (get a certain date range started), then get one coin that is special in that set, whether raw or slabbed, (I would suggest slabbed -- it starts the collector in a new direction).&nbsp; If someone had less than $100 to spend, getting a set going, then add one key date, could be quite fun.&nbsp; That is how many of us got started in the first place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
