<p>[QUOTE=&quot;windwalker, post: 1590915, member: 38923&quot;]At the risk of being impertinent and presumptuous I am a bit hesitant in offering a bit of unasked advice to new coin collectors, but here goes.&nbsp; This is the same advice that I have given to my children when they started collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was just out on the internet looking for a new album when I came across a new album that I didn&#039;t know existed.&nbsp; A couple days ago I ran across a thread posted by a new collector who was looking for some advice on a graded coin that he purchased and was worried that he may have paid to much for.&nbsp; At the time I suggested about pulling coins from circulation in relationship to an established coin series.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually was looking for a album to house my infant collection of Barber dimes in when I ran across an offering for a new album for the Shield pennies that came out in 2010.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t aware of this album&#039;s existance yet.&nbsp; In my opinion, this series and the America the Beautiful quarters are actually very good starting points for a new collector to begin their collection in that both series are still new enough to offer reasonably good enough specimens for a collection.&nbsp; However, the silver quarters for the ATB may be a little difficult for a new collector to come across with just a little extra effort.</p><p><br /></p><p>My kids are happy that I had started them off collecting when the State quarters began to be issued and now they have a fine collection there and they are continuing onward.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is really an opinion for what&#039;s it worth.&nbsp; Free advice is usually worth what you pay for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
