Remembering dates.

Is anyone else like this?

I envy people who can look through a collection, and know all the key and semi key dates of coins.

I always have to write the dates down and look in a book.

I do a pretty fair job with a series I am familiar with, but for other series, I'm just like yourself.

Stick with coins for a while, and I'm sure you'll have it down eventually.

 

It takes time to know them. What I have trouble with, is how much they are worth, at the time you are selling or buying. Also, how to grade correctly, and to know the varieties too.
But always buy the keys first, and the others will be easier later, to fill in the holes.:hail:

Triple post! Pretty cool that we all posted at once....

 

It's even harder when dealing with world coins, remembering key dates, varieties, types, etc.

 

I don't need to remember dates, I got the internet!

 

i think were all in the same boat! lol i can only name a few keys off the top of my head

 

Yes, you do have the internet! When we came up, we did not have any. So, what will you do with out the net? I use gray matter. Everyone to his own.
