<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3614696, member: 74863&quot;]A person that collects coins or anything else has their idiosyncrasies in their collection. Some people only collect midstate coins while others collect the lowest value coin they can find.&nbsp; Others try to collect one type of each coin ever made. Still other collectors try to assemble a complete collection of every coin made for that series. Then you have variety collectors, they want every room known variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;In other words it&#039;s your collection collect what you like. Do not try to build your collection based on what others tell you is best for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for trying to place a value on coins that have imperfections, the best you can do is come as close to the grade of that coin is possible,&nbsp; determine an average sold price and then you would just have to deduct a reasonable amount for the damage. A corroded coin is going to lower the value&nbsp; more than a coin that has some nicks.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a local coin shop or there are coin shows in your area I would suggest that you frequent them more often. Talk to dealers,&nbsp; talk to other collectors, if there&#039;s a local point club start attending their meetings. These are all valuable sources of information that can help you learn about coins and the proper way to value them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do not repeat do not watch YouTube videos they are full of misinformation and will lead you in the wrong direction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
