<p>[QUOTE="jay4202472000, post: 1839916, member: 42573"]I normally buy a "Coins" magazine at Wal-Mart each month. I had to go to a different one than normal today, and while looking for "Coins" my wandering eyes found a "Beckett Coin Collector" magazine. This was an awesome discovery for me. I was an avid football & baseball card collector growing up and Beckett was, and is, THE name in trading card guides. I haven't read the entire mag yet, but it seems to be pretty cool. There is a really nice article on Lincoln's, showcasing the key dates and major varieties. The article has numerous quotes from Charles Daughtry & Roger Willingham. There are a few noticeable errors though. They have a Philly minted 1914 pictured for the 1914-D, and they continuously refer to doubled dies as double dies. Nevertheless, I am a huge fan of Beckett's work and will buy more. Also, as far as I can tell, this is the first edition. First edition coupled with all those errors...might be worth a couple hundred bucks in a few years. LOL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
