[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3453558, member: 24633"]Personally, I don't think anyone new to the hobby should begin by looking for errors.

Don't get me started on Doubled Dies! Some of them are so minor that you need a USB microscope to see them, and many of those digital scopes produce terrible resolution. Again, it takes a long time to learn what is worthwhile and what is not. The bozos that you find on BoobTube are preying on people who hope to "strike it rich" with coins found in circulation. It isn't that easy. You have as much chance winning the top prize on Powerball. Chris[/QUOTE]
