<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2068785, member: 31533&quot;]A good place to start is</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Get the newest two cherry pickers guide books... they are invaluable and actually will last you. Newer versions contain mostly the older items, and if you watch what is coming up here for new coin errors, then you will catch up on some.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Watch the error coin posts here... you will start seeing some that are confirmed and some that are put as pmd. Either way, you will be learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) What you do find will translate to what you are seeing in your searching. It usually takes time (especially with recognising doubled dies vs machine doubling) but you will catch on. </p><p><br /></p><p>4) Start looking at sites that have errors on them like Lincoln Cent Resource, etc. (not the only coin site that has stuff like this) and start &#039;learning&#039;.... i.e., start telling yourself the differences in what is normal and what is an error. Start learning the dates that have major errors. </p><p><br /></p><p>5) Buy a really good 7X or 10X loupe. Bauch and Lomb makes good ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>7) Learn the POPs (Pick up points) for coins with errors. </p><p><br /></p><p>And look at coins, you will find some things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
