Study all of the pictures and teach yourself how to quickly identify each type. Then I would go to a major show or two and sit down at a dealer that deals in errors and look at all of his stock. Then you would be the expert versus most dealers, and you would be the one who would be most knowledgeable, and maybe even send slabs back to TPG's pointing out errors that they missed.</p><p> </p><p>I know you got into coin collecting to collect coins.
