Welcome to coinsarefun, Wil2008. That's nice half with its apparent blue toning.

For me, the biggest thing I would change is that I would start collecting sooner. I only started last year, and I was already 23 years old by the time I started collecting. (I'll be 25 in less then a month). Before last year, the only thing I collected regularly was State Quarters, and whatever Canadians I got in change. Now, as of last year, I have truly started to collect, and I'm loving every minute of it! I wish I had started sooner.
One thing I would like to change, is that I would like to have more "disposable income"; I live on a very limited amount, so I don't get to add new additions all that often. For example, I just bought 6 new Indian cents, a Hawaii $1 note and a Red Seal $2 last weekend. Before that, I got the 2009 Silver Proof set in August. Before THAT, I hadn't added anything new to my collection since March. So, even though I don't have a lot of money and thus, a lot of new purchases, I spend a lot of time reading. I am subscribed to the ANA publication, WorldWide Coins, and I visit now 4 message boards. I will also occasionally pick up a copy of Paper Money Values, CoinAge or Coins.

If I was to start over knowing what I do now, I would bring more order
and purpose to my collection instead of trying ro collect everything. I would
learn to grade for myself instead of believing what was written on the coin holder.
I would be more selective and patient selecting a coin to purchase. I would make
a greater effort to locate those dealers that were fair and willing to educate my
understanding of coins.
