<p>[QUOTE="Guy Ferguson, post: 4501286, member: 105326"]I collected mindlessly over the years. When I was a kid I tried collecting and was stupid and cleaned my coins since I didn't know any better. Then later in life I started buying from the mint and bought a few things on eBay too. I've decided this will be my last year from buying from the mint. I'm going to spend the rest of my time going thru what I got and hopefully find that I have something of real value. I did one thing right back in the Nixon era, I bought 2 GSA CC Morgans and back then, I tried to see if my 1880 was 80/79 with a magnifying glass but couldn't see any error. I can't seem to take good pictures of anything let alone a coin, but many years ago I bought a high resolution scanner and I thought, why not do a scan. To my surprise, it is 80/79. Now I'm interested in checking what I got over the years to see if I blindly collected some other errors. I'm hoping to learn what I can from you guys & gals about errors, VAM's and other things I don't know about.[ATTACH=full]1116342[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
