<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tenacious, post: 1508476, member: 14553&quot;]As mentioned by a couple other posters go to a coin show. From your poster ID you&#039;re in Florida. Here&#039;s some coin show listings:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinshows.com/florida.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinshows.com/florida.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinshows.com/florida.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>But I&#039;m sure that show list is by no means comprehensive. You should be able to find more with some searching. Especially the smaller local shows wont be on that list.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you do go to a show you will be exposed to many areas of coin collecting. You might end up being interested in and collecting an area of coins you never thought of, or never heard about before! And you might fore go US mint products altogether. You might even end up liking 19th century or early 20th century US coins or coins from other countries or something else.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last thing, if you go to a show, <i><u>ask a lot of questions</u></i> of the dealers. Occasionally you will run into a grumpy dealer, but most are willing to give you a quick and valuable education on the coin types they sell. Some of the most valuable info I&#039;ve learned is at coin shows from dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. If you have an interest in history, especially ancient history, you might consider ancient coins. You could end up collecting them. (They are my collecting focus and passion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>P.P.S. For those of you from other states looking for shows go to their homepage: <a href="http://www.coinshows.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinshows.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinshows.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
