<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dadams, post: 2889099, member: 82194&quot;]Hi there [USER=73707]@icollectoldmoney[/USER] !</p><p><br /></p><p>The first essential (assuming you are interested in US coinage) is <a href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Browse/Whitman-Books" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Browse/Whitman-Books" rel="nofollow">A guide book of United States coins</a>, better known as The Red Book. This will familiarize you generally with all the US denominations and is an invaluable reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next, I would get a DANSCO 7070 Type Set book.&nbsp; This book will hold a U.S. Type set of coins from 1800. Work on the modern coins first by selecting a series, lets say Lincoln cents - get yourself <a href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/A-Guide-Book-of-Lincoln-Cents-2nd-Edition+0794844189" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/A-Guide-Book-of-Lincoln-Cents-2nd-Edition+0794844189" rel="nofollow">A Guide Book of Lincoln Cents</a> and read the book before you select your coins for the DANSCO. Then move to another series like Jefferson Nickels, then Roosevelt Dimes, and so on. Buy the book, read the book, look at many coins, buy a coin to fill the DANSCO hole. Working methodically on a DANSCO album alone could take a number of years, but if you follow the path outlined above you would learn a great deal about coins.&nbsp; Eventually, you may find a coin denomination you really like and will want to specialize.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, just food for thought . . .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
