<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 2108429, member: 44615&quot;]The very first source of information I ever had when I started collecting variety and error coins back in the early 90&#039;s was this book titled - <b>Major Variety and Oddity Guide to United States Coins 8th Edition - </b>Written by Frank G. Spadone and printed in 1981.</p><p>I remember finding coins that looked strange but never completely understood what they were. There was no internet as we know yet, so no <b>CoinTalk</b> forum <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. As I was looking through the Hobby section of a used book store looking for anything related to coins I found this guide. I like the way the term &quot;Oddity&quot; was used back in the 80&#039;s and 90&#039;s. A term that is hardly or never used today.</p><p>Here are some front and back cover samples as well as some pages on RPM directions and Off-Centers as an example of what it taught. Have you ever heard of an Off-Center 1943 Copper? The picture was in this book!
