Message:: [QUOTE="NewCollectorRick, post: 2786102, member: 84576"]Absolutely.   I never use flash on. Camera because I thought it was taking away what was needing to be visible.  Thanks for all the info. I guess I have been kind of useless in the research department. Just throwing coins up expecting you all to just know these things in your head.  I just need to slow down.  Working so much so I get in a hurry searching rolls or looking through too many separated stacks.  I started collecting like the banks were going to sell out.  I think I was grabbing at least 2 boxes of pennies a wk for a few months.  Overwhelmed myself and now I have coins Alll over the house. Another mistake I feel I made was trying to dive in with paper currency and all coins.  Just taking a 10 yr timeline from pennies is enough information to learn to keep me busy for months. The rpm, ddo, md, etc..  I had to get a cheat sheet to learn what every abbreviation was.  At first I posted a coin and someone said md.  I got all excited thinking that meant something good. Boy did I feel dumb on that one.  Well today is finish day on this 4 month long job. I'm taking several weeks off and putting a lot more effort into this. I found a 1972 ddo fs 104 or fs 102. I got 2 answers on it and you get that high when you find something after all that digging.  That really got me rushing as well. Sorry for the book I just wrote. Anyways , thanks again for all the help folks.[/QUOTE]
