Couple of quick answers for you;</p><ul> <li>Every new collector needs the Redbook Guide to US Coins. It is a resource you will go back to the rest of your collecting career..... As far as books specific to Morgan&#039;s, that&#039;s not by bally-wick but I am sure the Morgan guys will be along anytime now to plug that hole for you.</li> <li>How to tell if a coin is cleaned.... Well, there are a million answers to this depending upon how the coin was cleaned. I&#039;ll just be concise and offer this.... The more coins you handle, the more your knowledge will grow. Become familiar with &quot;luster&quot;. An incorrect cleaning will damage or remove a coins luster and kill the quality of the coin..... Take a new quarter out in the sunlight and tilt it around. The sun will glint off the flow lines of the metal filling the die when struck. That is luster.</li> </ul><p>Anyway, welcome to the forum and the hobby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
