I would first suggest looking for interent sites/articles on your coins of interest, and next, consider books. A web search might yield some very...
If it's a 64, I like it. If it's a 63 I love it. If it's a 65, I'll be surprised. And if it's a 66, I've lost my grading eye.;)
If it bothers you, just sell it and buy another one - it's not worth fretting about.
What coin types do you want to learn about?
Remember, the owner of the coin said Indian cents mellow to all sorts of different color combinations, and some years/dates exhibit different...
My guess is because the copper nickel (as opposed to the bronze) coinage doesn't typically mellow or display the color variances to anywhere near...
It's risky enough to buy color-free, uncertified silver and nickel coins of value, sight-unseen. Often, it's even more of a gamble with bronze or...
Thanks for the comments, folks.
This is an easy one for me, as I only own one coin that isn't part of my inventory and which I will keep for as long as I live. It is a gem...
Why do you assume that? Couldn't it have been put there by any number of persons before it was submitted for grading? Prints don't necessarily...

The more valluable the coin, the less significant the grading fee is. So, while a $20 grading fee will often impact a seller's asking price on a...
I agree and must say, was stunned (NOT) to see a D mint-mark on the reverse. ;)
Thank you. I take it that you agree with me that to have said "most definitely" in your comment below, was an exaggeration.:rolleyes:
I disagree. The internet is of some help in that regard. But I have seen numerous collectors shocked at how difficult, if not impossible, it was...
Don't be modest - I knew you were a big spender.:o
That's fine with me - it's your coins and your decision. I'm glad to hear that you are that happy with all of your coins. And you are not the...
Images might help. In the mean time, the mirror-like patch you described is not especially uncommon on Mercury Dimes - I'll take a sight unseen...
I will repeat: You are incorrect. For example, in the cases where I buy and list for sale non-CAC coins which are subsequently stickered, I leave...
Separate names with a comma.
