<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 184612, member: 283&quot;]Hi Frank,</p><p><br /></p><p>To me your question is akin to asking `how do you ride a bicycle&#039;. One method I guess is reading up on the `how to&#039;. Another method is `practice makes perfect&#039; (along with taking the knocks and bruises that comes with&nbsp; making mistakes). The best well worn addage in coin collecting is `buy the book before you buy the coin. A lesser known addendum to that is READ the books that you have bought before buying the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Knowledge is power. The more knowledge you have the less likely you are to be burned or feel the need to lug your reference library about with you. Alternatively, you can always endeavour to find a reputable and reliable dealer you are happy to work with......and blame them if they feed you a fake. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Another&nbsp; addage that is apt in that case is `if you don&#039;t know your coins you had better darn well know your dealers home address&#039;.&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
