wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 10/16/2006 01:54 am I am beginning to think that all the coins that errors are just a figment of my imagination. That these coins are made by the few. After looking at thousands of coins, yes I said thousands, I have only found, die cracks, Cuds, and every time I think I have a double die, someone comes along and makes me feel stupid cause I can't tell the difference between a hub double and a machine double.... AAARGGGHHH? Maybe I will give this up! Report this Post to the Staff

AAARGGGHHH? Maybe I will give this up! OUCHH!! Don't give up wrongalot and don't hurt yourself. I believe I've collecting longer than you have and I still don't always know between these differences. I haven't given up. Yet. I don't expect to either. Maybe ya need to distance yourself away for a little bit and then get back to it. You seem to posting several coins a day. Maybe slow down a bit? I have another suggestion: Your screen name suggests some negativity. Maybe change it too.... workingonit? Or gettingbetter? I've just always noticed your screen name. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 10/16/2006 04:01 am Hi wrongalot Hope you dont mind me chuckling a little ? But !!!! I search tens of thousands of cents a year,, I find hundreds of die cracks,machine doubled coins, damaged ,, and any variation of the above you can configure,, but once in awhile I will find something worth the time Ive spent !! But each coin is a study in itself, and time with them pays off in the long run,, the more coins you see and the more questions you ask, and the more responses you get the more confidence you will have ,, dont give up and dont let anyone make you feel funny for learning !!

wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 10/16/2006 10:54 am They should offer a short course in this at the community college, where we can actually see some of the real coins and learn how to tell the difference, and the best way to look at coins and take pictures etc etc. That would be great. Unfortunetly there is not a demand. At least not here in small town Oklahoma. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 10/16/2006 10:59 am OH yeah, how does one find out about coin shows, I have watched my paper, and never see anything, could be here in Oklahoma there just isn't any, seems that I hear about alot in the east, but don't see myself traveling all the way to NY, or PA, for a coin show. Is there a website where coin shows are listed? Report this Post to the Staff
AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 10/16/2006 12:10 pm Wrongalot, Your experiences are the precise reasons why I don't actively look for errors in moderns. They are relatively easy to spot on Classic coinage, so those are the errors I like. Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 10/16/2006 3:39 pm Besides going to coin shows, I find that going to coin shops and learning from the dealers is great way to learn. With you being a young collector, you may build a pretty good rapport with some dealers, since many take an interest to teach a young, and eager collector. This I would certainly recommend.
