PS - Don't think you can use heritage, or just coinzip to attribute a coin. You still need the books. My books are always the first option.
It is easy to check the attributions when doing this. For example if the first coin I pull up on heritage might have the wrong variety(I see this...
Congrats. Give the kids some time they might change their minds.
Stick with what Doug says. The only thing I would add is buying or grading from pictures makes it even harder to determine some of these issues....
4th Edition works just fine for me. If I need to see better illustrations for a coin then I go to heritage and pull up the date and overton number.

Yes - ignore the taunts. You know how much fun collecting is. Heck even at my age sometimes when I mention it people shake their heads and can't...
Not sure if it is viable, but couldn't they get a temporary post office box? Or maybe send to a local western union, UPS or FED-EX? Sometimes...
I don't believe they made proofs in 1966. The 1961 looks like a proof, but not the 1966(proof like maybe). Just my opinion - wait for an expert...

Nice additions.
Bought a book and collected a few. I don't think I own any bust quarters any more. I think in the case of this variety the early die states would...
Yep - one SGS at 70 prices you can get to $1000 quickly. No matter what they come out ahead.
Yep - good buy. The last show I was at they were around for $31.
Large motto no stem and small motto has a stem. See attachment - large motto top and small motto bottom.
I think what conder is saying is all 1834's B-1 are this variety. Some you see with the recutting(early die state) some you don't(latter die...
