<p>[QUOTE="SlipperySocks, post: 3265515, member: 94585"][USER=99877]@young mag[/USER]. I know this isn't the answer you want but I feel it is the answer you need. First, I suggest setting this coin aside and coming back to it in three to six months. Next, focus your hunt, arm yourself with all of the pertinent information and you will start making genuine finds in no time. When I first started a couple years ago I was like you and combed over every single coin with a fine-tooth comb. I spent a LOT of time doing this and got burnt out pretty quick. My suggestion is that you get a copy of each of the Cherry Pickers books, pick a couple of denominations you like looking at (Quarters are great), research all of the common errors for those coins (via youtube and the books), compile a list of the errors and varieties you want to find and spend a few months looking for them or until you get bored and move on to other denominations. I would also suggest coming to this error page every day and just reading through all of the comments on the new error posts. You will learn a lot about errors this way, I know I have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
