<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 201513, member: 1824&quot;]Swick,it is important to build a professional relationship with a few dealers in your area.Once you get to know them,they can give you advice on things like grading &amp; how to detect forgeries,including things like added mintmarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I work part-time in the numismatic trade.There are even some things that the dealer asks advice from me for from time to time.When I started working for him,he had a bulk stock of unsorted coins that he had no time to sort.I said to him,&quot;If you like,I can sort them out for you so that you can have a system so if people ask you for coins from one country or a group of countries,then you can put your hands on the bags&quot;.This was a task that took me 6 months sitting there in a back room with a light,a magnifying glass,&amp; a set of&nbsp; Krause catalogues.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
