<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1330176, member: 15445&quot;]Hello jbaker,</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to CoinTalk.&nbsp; There are several knowledgeable people here that are always willing to help with questions when they can.&nbsp; However, my telling you what coin to collect would be much like telling you what car to buy or what girl to marry.&nbsp; Only you will know what coins you want to collect.&nbsp; Everyone has given you good advice in this thread IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are attending the FUN show in Orlando, then send me a PM and perhaps we could meet on the bourse floor.&nbsp; (&quot;bourse floor&quot; is the exhibit area where all the dealers have their tables with coins for sale).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think many collectors (like me) begin by completing date &amp; mint mark sets from circulation or coin shops.&nbsp; Another collection might be to get one of each major coin type from 1900 or 1800 to present.&nbsp; There are albums that you can buy &amp; then shop for coins until you fill every hole.&nbsp; Consider getting a book describing how error coins are made &amp; you might find interest in collecting the mistakes from the mints.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only rule(s) I suggest that you follow is that you only buy what you like &amp; have fun doing it.&nbsp; NEVER buy a coin that you don&#039;t like.&nbsp; Don&#039;t think that you will like it more after you get it into your collection.&nbsp; Get lots of books and ask lots of questions at CoinTalk (1 subject per thread).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
