It seems to me like you are becoming a collector that is very knowledgeable. That comes with study and comparison of coins. Some people never get a trained eye but keep trying to improve. When at a coin show or coin shop I feel that you should be able to haggle, with respect, if you want the coin. Predetermine what you want to pay and make a fair offer. A ridiculous offer will usually shut the door. Its a beautiful happening when buyer and seller agree on a price. Good Luck!
