<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3187430, member: 84179&quot;]I strongly, recommend buying a copy of &quot;A Guidebook of United States Coins&quot;.&nbsp; Available on Amazon, bookstores, and sometimes even WalMart.&nbsp; This is loaded with all kinds of information about US coins, asic grading, mints, weights, compositions, etc.&nbsp; The pricing guide can be a little inaccurate, but you can easily determine if you have a better date, based on the values of other coins in that particular series.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #660033">I guarantee that it will be the best $10-$15 you&#039;ll ever spend on the hobby</span></b>.&nbsp; And I can say with a great deal of confidence, that just about every experienced collector of US coins on Coin Talk had a copy when they were beginners.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I&#039;m recommending it for the information and not specifically for absolute pricing info, if you have one of those places like Big Lots, Ollie&#039;s Bargain Outlet, etc nearby, you may be able to find an older edition for a few bucks.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjnlsTqzbXdAhWRzFMKHUuICgwQjRx6BAgBEAU&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F2019-Official-United-States-Coins%2Fdp%2F0794845711&amp;psig=AOvVaw0196jgjSUO3k7wHQSn_Khq&amp;ust=1536846580339033" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjnlsTqzbXdAhWRzFMKHUuICgwQjRx6BAgBEAU&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F2019-Official-United-States-Coins%2Fdp%2F0794845711&amp;psig=AOvVaw0196jgjSUO3k7wHQSn_Khq&amp;ust=1536846580339033" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51lG5NcBdIL._SX258_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
