Reddit reviews Handbook of United States Coins 2017: The Official Blue Book, Paperbook Edition

Well as a noob collector, I might be able to help! Advice is more if you live in the US.

1. Not sure what your asking per say, but if you have a particular type of coin/country/era that you're into, its always best to get those from your local coin shop/pawn shop. I started off going through my parent's change and then as a cashier got really lucky over the past couple years. Roll hunting is a great way to start, but you gotta be patient and get through lots of regular rolls to get to the good stuff. I started with wheat pennies and Canadian coins which lead to silvers and all the other good stuff. Filling up those books of Wheaties, Indian pennies and even older Nickels is a inexpensive way to begin. Once you've figured out which specific coins you want, then the shops are a good place to get the more expensive ones. Even flea markets are good, but only for the small stuff. If you know people that have caches that are interested in getting rid of them, even better.
   
   1a) if you live in an area where you have lots of land, its not a bad idea, otherwise its not needed unless that's your thing.
   
   
2. Coin shops/Pawn shops, best way to go, making relationships with a trusted one goes a long way.
   
   
3. Not too sure, keep more in with the price guides, [Red Book] (https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Book-United-States-Coins/dp/0794843891/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488225553&sr=8-1&keywords=coin+guides) or [Blue Book] (https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-United-States-Coins-2017/dp/079484393X/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_cp_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=079484393X&pd_rd_r=YZ75YMYGQ38N96AW5ED0&pd_rd_w=B1VpT&pd_rd_wg=gC1Hv&psc=1&refRID=YZ75YMYGQ38N96AW5ED0) these are great to have starting off for the sake of simplicity :P
   
   
4. Coin holders as I've said before are great for displays and keeping everything organized, never buy the uber cheap ones. On the cheap end you can use durable plastic bags and washed out dry glass containers from honey or jams. Those containers for camera films are also a good way if you have those. Then for the nice ones get the plastic holders and then have larger container, wooden or whatnot, house all/most your collection. Magnify glass is another must, helps out with finding markings and errors.
   
   That's about it, may have gone overboard into detail lol, but hopefully you find something here useful. Happy hunting :)
