I have been an avid coin collector for some time. My recommendations if you're looking to start collecting or use the coins for a long term investment is to go for coins with silver. For example all dimes, quarters and half dollars before 1965 contain 90% silver. This means that when silver is trading at $38-40/oz, the silver content in the coins is roughly equivalent to 30 times face value. Another really good investment are wartime nickels which have 40% silver. These are easily distinguished with their mint mark on the back above Monticello.
