Give you some advice, I hope it will help you:
1: First, establish a general classification with pertinence.
To do something, we must first set a goal and avoid blind action. There are many kinds of antique industry, including stamps, paper money, coins, porcelain, calligraphy, ancient paintings, ancient books, furniture, jewelry, jade and so on.
It is necessary to choose one or more projects that you are most interested in, not to say that you can't master them all, but to build them step by step.
It is essential to collect and buy some books, regardless of age and old people. The introduction in the book is generally systematic, and the views on an episode are objective (otherwise, the book will not be published), which is of great benefit to newcomers' learning. In addition, you can browse the major collection forums, where there are many experts, especially those essence posts, reading more and learning more, and even extracting important content, which will certainly benefit a lot. Practice is important, but it is indispensable to lay a solid theoretical foundation. The so-called sharpening the knife does not miss the woodcutter.
3. Get to know more experts in the industry (on the forum) if you have the opportunity, ask others politely if you don't understand questions, and be diligent in asking questions to constantly enrich your knowledge. In addition, some experts' opinions (especially appraisal) can often hit the nail on the head, so that you can take fewer detours and pay less tuition fees;
This is a reminder: don't start with a little knowledge. In terms of collection, newcomers should remember to read more and study less to avoid being cheated and buying fakes. It's not too late to wait until you have accumulated some experience. There is a saying in the collection circle that "I would rather buy expensive ones than the right ones".
Finally, I wish you success in your studies. It is best not to be too utilitarian in collection, mainly to cultivate sentiment, supplemented by financial management. If you have any questions about coins, I can give you a reference, hehe.
