[QUOTE="frankjg, post: 3585282, member: 17567"]I'd also say that errors and varieties is probably one of the most difficult areas of numismatics to understand and learn about. I dont do it but see many on here who have dedicated most of their collecting life to the subject and are still learning, to this day. Many new people hear from youtube or other sources that they can make untold fortunes off of errors and varieties and immediately dive right into it without gaining a base understanding of coin collecting. If more new people were in it for the enjoyment, I doubt they would dive right into the deepest end of the pool. Start with the basics, find a series and try to put a collection together, read, read, read... This hobby is about so much more than finding an error or undiscovered coin, its about the history, the beauty of the coins, the rarity, etc.. People today are way too caught up in trying to run way before they should even be walking.[/QUOTE]
