[QUOTE="JBaker, post: 1329150, member: 32398"]Any specific country you would recommend? I think I will start my collection off with a U.S. coin, but I'm not against buying a foreign coin if it has a cool bit of history behind it, and if it's the right price of course. Is a complete set of Eisenhower dollars just one Eisenhower dollar from each year they were made? Or would a complete set include other things like variations, error coins, etc.? I can definitely see where you are coming from, but the particular coin shop I had in mind when I wrote that post was one that someone had told me a story about. Basically, the guy told me that he walked into the store and they told him to come back at a later time because it "wasn't a good time", so the man left and came back a few days later and when he walked in they told him he wasn't dressed like a man who had money to spend on coins and that their coins were only for people willing to actually pay. Of course, this story was probably mistold because the man it actually happened to was the one who wold me about it. But I've looked up some reviews on this particular store, and they're not so good, so I think I'll steer clear of it.A And is this book in the Amazon link below the "Red Book" that you guys are referring to? I see they have spiral versions and hardcover versions, and apparently one for each year.
