<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1439942, member: 68&quot;]Mostly it&#039;s a matterof trying to get the nicest specimen of every coin you consider part of the collection.&nbsp; I&#039;d suggest you add major and some (if not all) minor varieties.&nbsp; Start by getting an album to hold the coins.&nbsp; With cents they can be thumb printed by pushing them in a folder so albums are advisable.&nbsp; Once you have a reference collection you&#039;ll have something to which to compare your new circulation finds.&nbsp; Don&#039;t just look for unworn or lightly worn coins but look for nice strikes as well.&nbsp; You want as much detail as possible.&nbsp; Look for zinc issues with nice clean surfaces and no breaks in the plating.&nbsp; Many will be rough or &quot;bubbled&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are numerous reference books and on-line resources to help.&nbsp; Never worry about asking questions.&nbsp; It takes time to learn and you can&#039;t get it all in one post or even a thread but a few come close.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
