[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1146565, member: 26729"]I am going to throw out a suggestion that is purely my opinion, but I have collected coins since I was a kid, and I hope you will think about it... When you get into coins, you will probably find a coin or type that is your favorite, and right now it sounds like you are really zoned in on silver. Not a bad thing, but when you have a limited budget, you can get more for your money if you play it smart and realize you have a long life ahead to get better and better coins. What I am getting at is that silver right now is at a very high price, so silver coins are much more expensive than when silver is on a low value cycle. There is a cycle where silver goes up and down in value. It takes a few years, but it will go back down sooner or later. Can't say when, if I could, I'd be rich, but it will happen. Take a look at all US coins, even copper and nickel coins. I bet you fall in love with at least one type, and that'll give you something to collect while silver is high, and allow you to get much more for your money. My opinion is that now is the perfect time to build cent or nickel collections, then resume silver when the price drops. Take it for what it is worth. Also, never buy a coin with a problem, even if it is priced as such. The value will never move much, and you will always notice the 'problem' when you should be enjoying the coin. Problems are NOT reffering to good, honest wear... but holes, scratches, nicks, cleanings, fingerprints, or anything other than just wear.[/QUOTE]
