<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1604872, member: 112&quot;]How do you see ? Well the first step is to learn about what you are looking for so you can recognize it when you do see it. The next step is to realize and accept that when it comes to the true rarities that you are not going to find them. If you could, they wouldn&#039;t be rarities.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what should you look into ? That first step - education. Get yourself a copy of the two Cherrypicker&#039;s guide books. Read them, study them, and I mean study them not just look at them once or twice. You have to learn what is in the books. And, become a member of CONECA. Read about and study all of the varieties and errors that you can find on their web site. And there are a lot !</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you have learned, that&#039;s when you start looking at coins. And you don&#039;t need a microscope. Just get yourself a decent magnifying glass, a big one. You want a glass about 4x (5x if you can find it but good luck with that) and 3 inches across. Get a regular incandescent light, the goose neck lamps work best. </p><p><br /></p><p>With that knowledge, that glass, and that light, when you start searching through coins you&#039;ll see them easy enough. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s how you see <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
