<p>[QUOTE="PaulTudor, post: 3665036, member: 103058"]First of all you should set up your budget as it's the decisive factor.Then you should decide what you want.By all means you'd better specialize and avoid being a chaotic world crowns collector!I have a variety of large crowns ,all bought at very good prices because i'm always looking to make great deals and not just buy bullion coins,but i regret not trying to dedicate myself to a particular type of coin and now it's a bit late.I would definitely start a Mansfeld or Wildman talers collection!In your case you need to get used to the coins and learn how to spot fakes and how to make the difference between a good deal and a bad one.Use coinarchives,acsearch,krause catalogue,the silver benelux,lamoneta,anything that's related to your desired type of coin, to get more knowledge.Ma-shops is great for buying, but good coins get sold very quickly and there's plenty overpriced pieces too.Ebay can be tricky as there are many good fakes and a novice would easily fall into a trap!You can also search for coin auctions on Numista,Sixbid,Auex.de,Deamoneta,Biddr and there's probably others too.My last advice is to buy the best quality you can afford,avoid problem items,unless they're very rare, and learn as much as you can about the coins you'll decide to collect.Good luck and looking forward to see your coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
