Hello everyone,

I'm new to coin collecting and trying to get as much info as possible. I usually look at PCGS to look at prices of coins.
But I tend to forget what to look for. I mostly been looking over thousands of pennies and keeping everything older then 74 and keeping newer ones that are in really good condition.

Once I compile enough I'll go back through them to look for errors.

So I am wondering if there is a list I can print that says something like 1944 S (what to look for) price range $1 bad condition to $100 for excellent ect. Anything out there like that for people like me? Or am I stuck writing it all down on paper as I go?

Thanks for any help on this.

That would be one very long list. Also,are you looking for errors only or varieties too? You would be better off with a list of favorite web sites. You would be even better off if you learned the minting process and what coin should look like. Then,when you come across one that looks "not right" you can do further research.

with John.
There are a number of books to help with errors or varieties.
Most well know book stores have them.
Do you have a, " Red Book"?

I have my list on an Excel spreadsheet and then place it in Dropbox so I can bring it up on my phone. Easy as pie.
