<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 718525, member: 3926&quot;]My suggestions to the new (beginner) treasure hunter of die varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Start out searching for the 1st year or so with new coinage. Circulated coinage has to much variation (ware, discoloration, dirt, dings and etc) and makes hunting a lot harder.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Start out searching for RPMs (Repunched Mint Marks). Your search field on the coin is very small and your knowledge of the coin design is focused on a single attribute. The basic characteristics of a RPM are similar to doubled dies. Rolls of uncirculated memorial cents from the early 1960&#039;s are very inexpensive and there is a large number of different RPM varieties in this time frame. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Reference material, reference material, reference material - you can&#039;t read enough but read all you can.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. If you plan on becoming a serious variety hunter - Plan on buying a decent stereoscope.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
