Peter has started a new section. This frequently asked questions section will be for all the new collectors to find the basics. What things would you like to see? Some thoughts include: Dictionary. Numismatic terms such as obverse, RPM's, and such. Is it real. Things like two headed coins. What mintmarks are and where to find them. What else?
Here's some questions I think we should list...with the appropriate answers, of course. 1. How can I locate a nearby coin club? 2. Where can I find info on coin shows in my area? 3. Should I clean my coins? 4. How do I find a reputable ebay/internet dealer? I may add some more later...these are the first things that popped into my head. Nick
Sure, word it however. I think a coin FAQ sheet should stronly advise people against cleaning. I was just trying to think of how a novice or non-collector would ask the question.
That is a good thought. I will be spending some time this weekend writing up some info that all of you have asked for.
