What is a good coin to start collection?
It would depend on why you want to collect coins and what financial resources you have at your disposal. If you want to collect as a hobby, collect any coins that come your way. Start with something easy like low denomination coins already in circulation such as the penny or cent, or foreign coins that find their way into your pocket. If you want to collect for investment purposes, most Mints produce packaged year sets of Mint Uncirculated and Proof coins and a variety of bullion coins. These will be a lot more expensive than the face value of the coins suggest. Go to your local library and find a "world" coin catalogue and have a browse through that. Find something of interest to you and that you think you can afford and start collecting. Coin collecting is an interesting hobby and can teach you a lot about history. It is also often a life long hobby.
