    Peter has started a new section. This frequently asked questions section will be for all the new collectors to find the basics. What things would you like to see?

    Some thoughts include:

    Dictionary. Numismatic terms such as obverse, RPM's, and such.

    Is it real. Things like two headed coins.

    What mintmarks are and where to find them.

    What else?

    How about a list of basic reference materials for beginners...like the RedBook, Photograde, etc.

    Here's some questions I think we should list...with the appropriate answers, of course.

    1. How can I locate a nearby coin club?
    2. Where can I find info on coin shows in my area?
    3. Should I clean my coins?
    4. How do I find a reputable ebay/internet dealer?

    I may add some more later...these are the first things that popped into my head.

    Sure, word it however. I think a coin FAQ sheet should stronly advise people against cleaning. I was just trying to think of how a novice or non-collector would ask the question.

    That is a good thought. I will be spending some time this weekend writing up some info that all of you have asked for.
