youngmaster Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 01:57 am I see a coin that looks a little different but then turns out looks the same. I want to make sure the coin looks the way it was meant to look and not be wrong. This is why id like to be able to compare it to tell difference from error or normal. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Lots of experience helps, in knowing what to look for. No-one can be experienced right off the top. Buy all relevant literature on your subject that you can. A coin dealer may be able to help you with the specialist literature, and where to buy it. Edited by sel_69l 05/05/2020 02:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7934 Posts	Posted 05/07/2020 1:40 pm For world coins, I would look for a high grade slabbed example, on a website like CoinArchives or even ebay to use as a reference.. Though it's not completely clear what you are asking. If you want to compare a possible error coin to a known example of the error, then I think that's a different kettle of fish.
