<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TONYBRONX, post: 3781336, member: 88070&quot;]Hi Grace I am very happy and proud of you for begining to take a great interest in this great hobbie we love of collecting and never ending research of coins. I try to read everything and continue to try and learn and as long as you are active in the hobbie you will have to continue to learn about the history and appraising the grade, quality and variety. To do that you need to have the right tools ie: vision assistance, a great personal library, and tools to protect and preserve your collection, and by the way paying attention to this site like you are as well as good reliable coin research sites available to you!</p><p>I personaliy use &quot;Baush &amp; Lomb 10x Hastings Triplet Magnafiers&quot;.</p><p>And if I can recommend one good book to have in your library beside a collection of the Red Book guide of US coins by R.S Yeoman and Photograde photographic grading guide for US coins by James F. Ruddy I highly recommended The Art and Science of Grading Coins by Jason Poe.</p><p>I hope I have not given you to much of a rant (Smiles!). But I hope you get a little something out of it. PS: Been in the hobbie 30 years active an 30 years inactive and still studying and learning, I even learn from you questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
