<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 77167, member: 4336&quot;]I am in high school</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of reading 15 lessons and each lesson is 46 pages of jane eyre (an english women in england which takes place in the 1816&#039;s) I decided to do this:</p><p>Read a book, and do a book report about it. The book is going to be on Stephen Hawkings theories.</p><p>I also have to do a coin project, this time, it isn&#039;t about art. Today I going to talk to the art teacher about how long the art project has to be. However this project has to be 21 pages and in coins in general. Here&#039;s the catch, I have to cite all my resources. Now I&#039;ve learned alot about coins, generally from 2 or 3 books I have on numismatics, and the PCGS guide to counterfeit detection and grading. I don&#039;t really know any good books to buy on toning, or gold coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with citing all my resources is ive learned alot about coins already in my 11 years of collecting and I don&#039;t remember where I learned this stuff. So, I&#039;m going to have to go through every thing I can find on the internet books and the few books I Have (I can&#039;t go to the library and find coin books. they don&#039;t have any. The only book they have is a krause book), the bookstore has a few more numismatic books, but again nothing really. And I don&#039;t have any money (nor do my parents) to buy any numismatic books. So my only choice besides the few books I have, is the internet</p><p><br /></p><p>It has to be 21 pages, and have a cover page (1 page), a conclusion (1 page) and an introduction (1 page) which takes away a few pages.</p><p>I need to&nbsp; go through numerous aspects of coins, if anyone could help me with this list:</p><p>Toning, grading, counterfeits, altering, doctoring, tooling, etc.</p><p>Gold coins, world coins, to compare and contrast coins from different worlds to each other, US coins, US coin history, other world coin history, gold coin history, the gold standard relating to gold coins, PCGS, the grading services, coin lingo (DMPL, &#039;across the street&#039;, 3rd party grading service, etc)</p><p><br /></p><p>And please don&#039;t tell me to listen to EVERYONES advice. You can&#039;t go through life and never argue, it doesn&#039;t happen that way. I&#039;m not going to be guilliable and naive and say I listen to everyone and everything here, not everyone everything says is good advice. For example, I don&#039;t listen to my uncle tuffy who is very knowledgeable about coins instead i listen to the people here.I don&#039;t agree with everyone. there are people that have helpful advice that is true, and helpful advice that is false. I listen to the advice I&#039;m sure is right. I&#039;ve listened to most advice here and on other forums (Not to clean a coin for example), and some advice I don&#039;t listen to but I don&#039;t do anyway (you can scratch&nbsp; a coin with your fingernail,referring to gold coins alloyed with other metals)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
