Welcome, CAM man here how goes? shoot just get a 10× and a 16× hand held magnifying loop the 2018 MegaRed coinbook and have at it. You will learn the basics in no time flat. Then it really gets fun. If you find one of these, let me know :)  |

Regarding luvmyCAM's post. I'm not familiar with the label on that penny so can someone clarify? I know what MS and SP stand for but what does the AU58 and Close AM FS-901 refer to about that penny? |

Its a die reverse die variety that wasnt supposed to be minted for circulation until 1993. This variety is pretty scarce in any grade. The A and M of America nearly touch thus its called the Close AM. AU- stands for almost uncircualted. F's-901 stands for its Fiivaz and Stanton listing number. If it has an F'S number the die has recognition as a major variety in the variety world. Like being a made man an F'S coin is a recognized variety in a way its a made coin. The designation does not neccessarily mean valuable its more for identification among the thousands of die variety. |

@luvmyCam - thanks for the precise explanation, I appreciate it! The AU - (almost uncirculated) just makes me realize how much more I need to learn about the different classes that coins end up in.

Wanted to say Hello from Burnet County, a little west of you! Just joined myself and I'm also retired, Law Enforcement for 30+ years. Amazon has some nice USB plug in scopes. I started out on the less expensive side and purchased a Plugable scope. Has still pics and video with built in LED lighting. It takes a decent photo. Take care coinjem. Give a yell sometime. |

I've always been envious of those who inherited collections or anything for that matter from their mothers or fathers. With coins, it's never an example of feeling entitled...just fortunate I guess. |
