<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Babinszki, post: 3146289, member: 70812&quot;]This is fascinating, thank you for sharing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a totally blind collector myself, but I have no idea how to even start recognizing the dates. This is the second person I have heard about who can figure out the date without sight, but I have not met anybody. I would be very interested in getting in touch with someone who can explain this to me. Most importantly because if there is a way I could develop my touch in this direction, it could help me a lot in collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recognize coins by touch, I&#039;d say about 500 different ones, of course not the dates. At some point I was thinking about training myself to recognize more, but in all honesty it is not relevant to me after a while. I catalog my coins and record the exact locations, so I initially do need help from a sighted person, unless I know what a coin is exactly. At this point, there is no need to be able to recognize a particular coin, but I have to say, it is fun to memorize them, but when it comes to spending time, it is even more fun to read about the background of a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anybody could put me in touch with people who can tell dates by touch, I&#039;d really appreciate it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
