But I'm not sure what you are pointing out with the other areas. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10044 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 5:27 pm You are trying way too hard to try to find something wrong on your coins you hope will be an error. All you are finding is common imperfections worth nothing to collectors. Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins. :) How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/09/2022 01:52 am I totally 100% agree with Earle42, don't try to learn coin collecting / error searching backwards. Learn how coins are made and imperfections will jump out at you when found. Not every coin is an error coin and very few are worth more than face value. Learn about coins and what they are supposed to look like first, and unusual examples will follow. Report this Post to the Staff
