Did you notice/check coop's videos that he linked to in your other thread?

That is the kind of study material I look for as an error and variety newbie. Not hype. Not click bait. Just the facts... And good pics...

Coop is one of the people on this forum who's answers I would consider definitive. If he has a video...then just whatever he says. I would only add that I recommend doing this purely for fun and not to get your hopes up for $$. Coin hunters do find coins that are sellable, but now that finding silver is very rare, I've never met one that made a profit after accounting for time spent. You have to enjoy the search itself as a hobby.

The easiest way is to put together sets by date and mintmark by saving the best specimen of each coin in a folder.

You'll quickly learn what each date is supposed to look like and learn about the anomalies from varieties and errors to " Dryer Coins".

The set will also become a great reference collection when you need a coin with which to compare a new one and can become a source of pride in itself.

Only you decide what constitutes the best specimen. I like well made coins with little wear and no marking but it's each their own.

These sets are mostly very inexpensive though the states and parks issues are $25 each. The one cent set costs less than a folder to hold them.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
