[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 580785, member: 16510"][b]If you are having trouble like this it's probably not[/b] If you are having trouble like this it's probably not a very valuable coin as far as the variety goes. Yes, it's hard to attribute but if your having to search that hard maybe the coins not a VAM's at all. The whole major point with varieties and errors is they need to be seen and they need to be fairly significant - otherwise why would they warrent attention? Many guys new and old on here are not only searching coins with no major die varieties in that year/mint but looking waaaaaay to close at stuff and then letting their imaginations run rampant posting stuff on Coin Talk that is just slowing down their learning because they are not heeding our advice. Now, folks can learn anyway they want to but how hard you make it is up to each person. First find the variety on the coin - rule out any possibility of normal minting procedures that could have caused it then go to the reference material and then prove it by die markers.[/QUOTE]
