Message:: [QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3030712, member: 17665"]It really is all about research and a lot more research. Before computers we were all in the dark for the most part. It boils down to still picking up a couple of good books to get started. The Red Book and a book on grading coins is an investment that will do you no wrong. So many questions can be answered with a couple of good books. Then, if still in the dark, we are here. Someone can always post you a link to almost any type of coin where there is more than ample material for you to learn from. None of us expect anyone to know everything before they ask questions but as so often happens, a lot of folks do no research at all and then just expect us to answer all their question asap. And a lot of times they are not willing to accept our answers as fact. So therefore comes the more research. If after 5 people give the same answer and that person is not willing to accept it, would you not also become frustrated? (Not talking about you in this case, but others). Books and Chris gave some sound advice above. Hunker down with a couple of books my friend and patience is still a virtue.[/QUOTE]
