A real error can be seen quite easily without major magnification.</p><p>Get the Red Book so you know what dates and mint marks to look for.</p><p>Study websites such as this one. Look on the left side for topics and read up on them.</p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">Wexler&#039;s Coins and Die Varieties</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck, keep searching, keep posting and sooner or later you&#039;ll find something good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
