[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 3493171, member: 77226"]When I get a coin, I create an email for myself of information about the coin and as many pictures of coins of exactly the same type that I can find (and sometimes of even the same dies if there's a lot of examples). I search FORVM, acsearch, coinproject, various sellers, RPC, and all other specialized sites that I can find (I take RIC and other ratings into account but don't put too much stock in them. I have many R5 rated coins where you can find quite a few examples). For things like FEL TEMPs, you could spend days collecting images. For others, I just find a handful of examples.
