Message:: [QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3650294, member: 17665"]You are very welcome. If you feel you really are attracted to possible errors, it would be a good investment to pick up either or both of the "Cherry Pickers Guide"-Vol 1 & 2. Both list all major varieties/errors of all the U.S. coins that are worth collecting. Most of us will recommend NOT picking up "Strike It Rich With Pocket Change" by Ken Potter as it is mostly a self serving book that tends to lead people to believe they might get rich by reading it. Not the case though. Good errors and varieties are hard to come by in every day pocket change. That's not to say it's impossible but not so likely. It takes a lot of time to get used to all the possibilities and also learning the Mints coin making process will go a long way to avoiding the bad from the good. If you like minor errors/varieties there's always die chips, die cracks, die clashes, minor doubled dies and many others that are not worth a lot but can be a lot of fun anyways. A good free site to learn on is <a href="http://www.doubleddie.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.doubleddie.com" rel="nofollow">www.doubleddie.com</a>. A lot of reading there but also a great reference tool. There are others and I'm sure when you run into a problem most here will be very willing to help. But be ready to accept that many things that look like errors are really not.[/QUOTE]
