They usually say "the best place to start is by checking your own piggy banks, dressers, couch, or your car". That's a good way to train yourself in picking up a coin, go online and research it, get informed and then base your collection on something that interest you. Perhaps a country, religion, a war timeframe, an indivitual who inspires you or calls your interest. You don't want to do my mistake... I started on the U.S. old one cents, then V cents... & ended up going worldwide. I found some cool pictures on some coins and that's what got me in trouble. Just because I liked a pretty bird or a fish, some lion or a flower... I have now concluded a collection of about 300/400 coins & I totally forgot about my U.S. one cent. I'm still filling up the gaps on thoses I'm missing, while researching what I ended up with. A misfortune...fortunately. someday it may benefit me or my kids. Let time tell its story.
