<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 11159, member: 57463&quot;]You got a lot of good advice already.&nbsp; You have an interest in U.S. &quot;Type&quot; coins (Walker, Buffalo, etc.) and you seem to be the kind of person who would enjoy 19th century US coins such as the Seated series, the 3-cent silver and 3-cent nickel, etc., etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever you collect, with the money you say you have at your discretion, my advice is to buy the best coins you can afford, not the most coins you can afford.&nbsp; I realize that you are sharing this with your sons.&nbsp; However, it is better to spend $150 on three $50 coins, than on 50 $3 coins.&nbsp; Grade and Mintage are everything.&nbsp; You are going to have a much better experience with nicer coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best advice I can give you is to BUY BOOKS.&nbsp; That includes joining the American Numismatic Association and taking their correspondence courses.&nbsp; If you live in a larger town, your area&#039;s used book stores might have bargains for you.&nbsp; Buy the book, before you buy the coin,&quot; said Aaron Feldman.
