I have only been doing this a few weeks and I love it. I originally started looking for silver but found that error coins caught my interest more. I was told that the red book would be a great resource for me but I cannot grab it till next week. Are these errors on this coin or wear?
The Red Book is a good source for historical information and technical data like composition, mintage, etc. but it is not the best source for information on errors. It's helpful to have a book like "Official Price Guide to Mint Errors" by Alan Herbert to identify specific types of errors. Knowing that an error coin is called a "Railroad Rim", a "brockage" or maybe a "tilted rim" can make your search for information a lot easier. Chris
