<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3066291, member: 19463&quot;]It is amazing what a decent photo can do.&nbsp; I suppose we could point out that a decent condition example of that common coin would not be expensive and much easier to photograph.&nbsp; Another way of identifying new coins is to buy identified coins from good dealers who do not mind helping beginners.&nbsp; We have several good ones that post here and many non dealer members who probably have better coins they would sell for next to nothing that would still be of interest to many new collectors.&nbsp; This may not work if you will only collect mint state rarities but I suspect several of us could provide some beginner coins if we knew where they would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
