<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 129037, member: 4552"]Sounds like you have more money to spend than the average person from what you say. Otherwise I would suggest just going to a bank and buyiing bags of pennies (cents), nickels, etc. Great passtime going through thosands of coins. Get yourself some Whitman or Dansco Classic type Albums of these and try to fill them. As for coin comparisons in prices I would suggest going to book stores, flea markets, garage/yard sales and look for old issues of the Whitman Red Book. Then get the lastest 2007 edition off the Walmart Book store web site which is the cheapest I've found for that book. If you hit it big at the used Red Book findings they should only cost about a dollar. Then with older editions you could compare prices of all coins. I suggest starting off with Jefferson Nickels because not a great colectable item so there are still plenty still around. First fill an album then go to coins shows and stores and try to improve your set. A full set from 1938 to present is easy to fill and unfortunately not worth much. I always suggest to beginners to try to collect a little of everything to see what interest you the most as to value, availability, educational, etc. Hopefully there are some coin shows in your area. Going to a coin show is like going to Walmart where there is a little of everything so you can find out the most from people that, at leat pretend, to know a lot about coins. Good luck and welcome here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
