I'm good with that. I'm sure you can find someone in that 100,000 that will agree with you.

No just one website. A lot of reading, but I enjoy it because instead of asking and getting disrespect while you relieve an answer helps out.

 

Thats all I was asking for was more detail into looking whats there or at least showed me the website or the right person to talk to

 

1. There is no licencing requirements to become an "expert". Members build credibility by regularly posting accurate information about numismatics and the minting process. Once you've gained some experience in the hobby, its easy to tell who's knowledgeable and who's blowing smoke.
1b. Owning a coin shop doesn't Automatically make you an expert. This is a common mistake many new collectors make. Numismatics is filled with specialties like errors, ancients, etc. Nobody can be an expert on everything. One if the great things about sites like this is you get a concentration of knowledgeable people in these specialties (go check out the ancient section on CT). You said you were an engineering tech and I'm sure you're knowledgeable in your field. But does that make you an expert tech in chemical analysis? Control Systems? Quality?
2. There are very few collectors of errors that will pay premiums for minor errors. The ones that occasionally sell for more that a couple bucks are difficult to find in change and aren't overlooked. Search for internet dealers who specialize in errors and see if any of them are interested in buying your minor errors. They aren't because the market isn't for resale isn't there
3. use the links people provide. They info is there, but you have to take the time to learn it.

Best of luck on your collecting endeavours. Hope you find people that can help you

 

I would definitely trust a collector in his or her specialty over a coin shop owner. While a coin shop owner usually has some knowledge over a wide variety of coins, a specialist has great knowledge of his area of interest. I am in now way tooting my own horn, but I know more about New Jersey coppers and Woods coinage than most dealers.

 

A license is required to operate a "coin shop." It is appropriately named a business license.

 

You are correct. That's how the state knows who should be paying taxes of some type.

 

Nice errors! Unfortunately, they are NAV (no added value). If you can find them, then so can everyone else. There were billions of these cents mints EVERY year. I think you will find millions of them if you look long enough.

 

Look it up.

 

Try looking for the spitting horse 1999 state quarter.

 

Alls you need is the Wexler page and the Wexler dude. Once he puts you on ignore then you’ll know your wasting your time with high powered loops etc..
