Phear New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 10:10 am Fellow Ohioans, I am looking for someone locally that I can meet with weekly or so to help me identify and value the coins I pick up from work. I have access to thousands in change on a weekly basis, and I have recently taken collecting up as a hobby. I know I'm missing some good finds strictly because I do not know what to look for, be it rare dates, mint errors or something else. So, if you are from the Cleveland/Parma area and would not mind sitting down and helping me get my feet wet, I would greatly appreciate the help! Report this Post to the Staff

For example try to find a hobby or coin store and get a copy of the Red Book by Whitman Publishing. And that could only be a start. There are many, many books on coins available. Go to the Whitman Publishing web site and look what they produce. Report this Post to the Staff
