I have read on numerous occasions that experienced collectors state that it takes years of viewing coins to realize what you are looking at. I could view a million coins and still have no clue. here are several instances.
1. Metal flow towards the rim?
2. Weak strike (although I have some clue on this one)
3. Bag marks as opposed to a tiny scratch
4. coin friction and album rubs
5. early and late die state
6. details and strikes depending on the year
7. I could go on and on
I truly believe I could shorten the learning curve tremendously with pictures of these issues.
I have been told to look at as many slabbed coins as possible.
I bought coins in every grade from EF to MS-68.
I have bought coins from different grading services to compare.
I recently submitted coins to check if I have learned anything.
There must be some info I have not run across?
Reasonable advice on any of these would surly be appreciated!
What am I missing here? A picture of this problem looks like this and so on would help. Thoughts
