tunaplanet 0 #1 May 3, 2004 I decided that I need a hobby. I put a lot of thought into this and decided coin collecting would be it. Anyone seriously collect coins here? If so I would love advice. Yeah, I know I never ask for advice, but there it is. I am going out and buying some books on it and some price guides (the blue and redbook I read were the good ones). Any experienced advice would be welcomed. PS - Why is it the 24th Fosters tastes so much better than the first few? Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #3 May 3, 2004 When I was a kid, I started with a penny album and used to have a penny from every year and series from 1920 to the 1970s. Those types of albums are a relatively easy way to start, and it doesn't require a serious investment. Now, I pretty much keep any bi-centennial quarter or any state quarter I don't have. But that's about it. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

lawrocket 3 #6 May 3, 2004 Advice? Don't ever clean the coins yourself. I learned that the hard way... My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
