[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1777588, member: 13307"]1) Buy the book (in this case, the Cherrypicker's Guide Vol 1 and 2 is a good place to start) 2) Get your bookmarks in order of websites that have information on varieties (CONECA, VarietyVista, etc.) 3) Buy the loupe (my personal favorite is the BelOMO 10x found [URL='http://www.amazon.com/Loupe-Magnifier-Triplet-Folding-Imported/dp/B0002OVC9W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377755080&sr=8-1&keywords=belomo+10x+triplet']here[/URL].) 4) Look through thousands of coins. Be patient...good stuff is out there. 5) Learn how to photograph your finds so others can share in the fun. Best place to look for errors and varieties is someone who sells coins and doesn't bother to check for them. Second best place is the bank - find one that will order you coins, and one that will accept your rejects. Personal advice? Watch your posture while you do it. Sometimes I find myself more resembling Gollum from LOTR, looking for my Precious...and I have to remind myself I still want to look like a normal person in five years. PM me a shipping address and I'll send you a DD. No charge.
