<p>[QUOTE="coinman0456, post: 1021577, member: 18177"]There is some good advice in the previous replies. I would like to add something to that. The advice I offer any new collector, is to learn about the series you are interested in , preferably before you make purchases. That last part is where some folks get into trouble, because they are buying high dollar coins and not really knowing why the coins are carrying those premiums, if they are justified. It's okay to make that mistake once. Don't make that a behavioral pattern. You will quickly loose your hard earned money, potentially on coins that those in the know, will pass on , even at any price. Enjoy the hobby and learn, we are all learners regardless of how long one has been collecting coins. It's supposed to be an enjoyable hobby. There is some terrific literature out there about every U.S. Mint series. Reading is fundamental .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
