Omg your awesome. This is definitely gonna be a good read. I skimmed it and can't wait to get into it later. Thanks. P.s this is good to save to homepage on phones. Easy access.
I wasn't being rude or in any way unpleasant, but simply stating factual reality. Success in this hobby is almost always directly connected to knowledge and/or one's willingness to learn (unless willing to pay up for the assistance of someone who has). If interested in varieties or errors, this is of particular importance as it will help you separate the wheat from the chaff, but I've no skin in this game so please, do or think as you see fit.
Don't be offended. Look at the positive side. We have a lot of people who start looking for errors before they even understand the minting process. You're not alone! Chris
