I'll second that book recommendation. While you're waiting for it to arrive, go to PCGS Coinfacts and read the narratives by David Hall, who...
Good move following the "never buy a coin you don't like" rule. Over time, however, you'll find that some dates, such as 40-S, usually have...
Best to start another thread with your question.

The unions, on the other hand, will not be so charitable, so I would expect it to take much longer for convention centers that are run by unions...

The results will be nowhere as good as you'll get with a DSLR, and that's a lot of money to spend to find that out. You'll start with both...
