<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3168600, member: 19165"]Best advice? Don't put a whole lot of time or effort into finding coins in your pocket change that are worth more than face value. Modern varieties are not widely collected, and even if you do find one you won't be able to sell it for much of a premium. Finding them is very hard and very uncommon - but demand for them is even less. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are interested in getting a bit deeper into collecting, buy the Red Book as mentioned before, buy my book linked below to learn how to grade, and figure out a series that you enjoy collecting. If you really are serious about errors or varieties, I suggest you buy the CherryPicker's Guide to Die Varieties - but spend a very large amount of time studying how coins are made, how errors and varieties are made, and understand what they look like and how to identify them. You could look through dozens of rolls of coins and not find a single thing, especially if you aren't familiar with what you are looking for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
