[QUOTE="CohibaCris, post: 10924, member: 904"]That you are centered on a particular denomination is a great first start. There are several places to start in your new hobby.... 1. Visit a couple of coin dealers in your area. Look around and be very honest to the dealer as your level of experience with the hobby. Those that take you in and help you get up to speed will be great resources for you (aside of course from this site) 2. Set a budget, and buy the best coins that you can. Do some research on grading coins, and learn about the preservation of condition of the originally minted coin. 3. Read everything you can get your hands on. Check out the FAQ from some great starting books. 4. Ask a ton of questions here. You can spend a ton of money on just about anything, including cents. Just enjoy being new in the hobby; it is really fun ride.. :D Cris[/QUOTE]
