<p>[QUOTE="cherrypicker, post: 137027, member: 3734"]I had problems with sorting my coins when I began too. I began with a handful of world coins and came up with an AWFUL way to do it, even if it looked fine when I did it. I took my coin and I wrote a brief description about it on a piece of paper, date, and how good it looked, then I put the coin under the piece of paper and took my pencil and rubbed it over the coin. Out came a perfect tracing of what the coin looked like! I get sick just thinking about it now-but they were all moderns...so not too much value. </p><p>Here's a good link for everybody in your situation to look at:</p><p><a href="http://www.coinworld.com/news/062606/BW_0626.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinworld.com/news/062606/BW_0626.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinworld.com/news/062606/BW_0626.asp</a></p><p>Carl asked some good questions-if you answer it'll help to avoid some mistakes and maybe even some nice coins like unlike me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
