[QUOTE="purple88, post: 1837997, member: 56032"]I've been collecting coins for awhile and try to contribute as frequently as possible on the coin forums. I'm familiar with "coin doctoring" and the tell-tail signs to look out for but I am unaware what too look out for when buying paper. I inherited a modest collection of US currency, JIM, Confederate bank notes, and US Military Payment Certificates. I now want to buy some to add to the preexisting collection. I experienced a steep learning curve when it came to coins and want to avoid the same thing with paper. I searched the forum and didn't find what I was looking for. I'm not a good searcher but I'm not lazy either so if the answer to my question has been previously posted just point me in the right direction. Any additional advice on how to proceed with my initial goal will be well received along with any pitfalls to avoid. Newbie asking for help. I also need to learn the difference between advise and advice. Darn that edit button doesn't allow you to edit titles. Just learned that too. Thanks. Cheers![/QUOTE]
