A few for those that didn't think of saying that.
I suggest looking into purchasing a copy of the Red Book by Whitman Publishing. Great book for general information.
Rest in Peace

It certainly does sound like you jumped in wholeheartedly!

I know some errors liked double died and obvious errors where a coin is off centered or something but beyond that I'm lost.


That's a good start and unless you're truly interested, there's a lot to learn and it might not be worth the effort.

The best advice I ever read about error coins -- and I read it here, but cannot remember who posted it (sorry) -- was to learn what the coin should look like so that it's easy to spot one with an error.

You don't have to learn the error -- but if you spot something different or odd, post a pic and somebody will help you with that.


I kind of feel like you're trying to play catch-up with your collecting and it is possible, but give yourself some time because collecting never ends. You might complete an album -- but the collecting just goes on and on.
