<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 115556, member: 4230&quot;]When i started collecting bills, i Started buying in bulk at the bank and looked through them for Star Notes and other random things. Then i went on to collect one from each FRD for each series (something that is constantly on-going so it stays interesting) for me this was the easiest and somewhat cheapest way to get into it and start learning. From there i back tracked in time to other bills. I dont stick to any one kind (Silver Certificate, FRN, FRBN, Legal Tender Note, Treasury Note, National Bank Note, Fractional Notes, Colonial Notes, Confederate, Emergancy Notes, or any of the other types of US currency) I try to find a bill that 1) is in my price range and 2) one that has Artwork that i really enjoy. Personnaly i dont think i would ever buy many of the Treasury or coin notes due to (IMHO) the artwork on alot of them isnt as good as alot of the vingettes on other US currencies. My main focus is to obtain a collection that i can appreciate while balancing the cost over grade. Others go for the save your money to get a higher grade approach - neither is wrong and neither is completely correct, the correct answer is whatever works best for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, a person can say how they started, but the process that fits for you is all up to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>ps - My alltime favorite Bills - 1899 Chief, 1901 Bison, and my 1886 Tombstone note. The artwork on the Tombstone note isnt as good as the Chief or Bison notes (IMHO) but its just creepy to have the vingette framed by a tombstone :rolling:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
