SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/12/2015 08:42 am The greatest danger to a new collector is reading things into coins which aren't there - it's a road which ends in frustration for you. Regardless of what you may or may not see here, the coin is so terribly damaged that no feature can be trusted any longer. Something very caustic has had its' way with this one, some substance nasty enough to dissolve copper. The best way to combat the problem is to understand what is correct for the coin, so as to more clearly see what isn't. So in order to grow as a collector, what you should be studying now is good coins, undamaged ones. Report this Post to the Staff

I have certainly been down this road and still trying to advance beyond it. Maybe everyone goes through this to some degree...(?) (?) Report this Post to the Staff
