I am going to save to get very nice grade coins, Remember to keep studying and doing research while you save, and don't buy coins in a rush. Take it slowly, the biggest mistake new collectors make is not researching and then buying fake/altered/problem/overgraded coins. Learn to grade and authenticate to a certain extent and then you won't be have to be scared of buying from certain venues. Quote: when I look at large cents online and at shops they seem to have a variety of different colors. why is this? I'm definitely not a large cent expert but part of the reason may because of corrosion or verdigris, old cleanings and dippings, attempts to doctor the coin by recoloring the coin (universally regarded as unethical and immoral). Part of the explanation may be the different storage conditions each coin was in, leading to different forms and colors of patina. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188974 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 11:33 am I do have one proof in my 7070; it is a 1982 Washington Commemorative Half Dollar. I also have the uncirculated version of that half dollar right next to it. I have yet to fill the Commemorative Dollar hole and have been considering a proof for it. I have also considered replacing the bicentennial coins with proofs, but I have a difficult time wanting to upgrade any coin in any album. "Once in, always in!"

I thought it was asking if there was a way that you could load a coin that you actually own instead of like, that is why I gave you the link on how to email susan a picture of one of your coins and she could upload it for you to use as your avatar Report this Post to the Staff
