So here's the question. Is eBay a good thing or a bad thing for collecting coins? I personally bought my Washington Smooth edge dollar on Ebay, and picked it up for 66 dollars. I thought that was a decent deal, and when I looked around at other sites that sold it, it was in excess of 125.
Is eBay driving down the prices of coins? Or is it just making it easier for newbies like me to get their hands on a huge number of coins?
Personally, I really like eBay and I like that there are so many choices on there, however there is more to it than just that.

OK, so I missed my first coin collectors meeting, but I was able to find one that is literally down the road.
I actually found the club by going to the American Numismatic Association website at http://www.money.org and searching for my area. It found one that is about two blocks away from my house and that meets once a month.
Sounds great, but the timing was bad, so I wasn't able to make it. If you have any experience with coin clubs, please leave me a comment and let me know how they go, and if you think that they are truly worthwhile or not.

I am pretty sure that I am going to start collecting the Mercury Dimes set. It looks interesting enough. There are a bunch, and there are a few of them that are very difficult to find. It should be a good challenge.
The question that I have now is, should I get all slabbed? should I just get ones that look nice in the cardboard flips?
Should I get circulated, or shoot for the MS ratings?
I guess it depends on my budget, but any advice is appreciated.
I'll let you know what I decide.
