dlegg0387 Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 5:17 pm ive been to the coin shop twice in the past 2 weeks-- bought 8 coins, and I've pulled a top 100 and a hot 50.... this stuff is exciting... the only thing is I cant recognize any VAM's when I'm at the coin shop, I just know what years have more on the top100 to help increase my chances--- ... outside of taking my cheap field microscope thing in its still a crapshoot-- but a fun, low risk one. reading up on stuff would help, but being a law student doesn't leave the most time in the world Report this Post to the Staff

I'm glad a small direction of advice, with your eye's coin in hand, can confirmed an idea.I love a challenge.Gene the doubled lips and reverse makes it a lock...you have the coin in hand so many of us can only Report this Post to the Staff
