Message:: [QUOTE="davedawg, post: 235076, member: 9026"]I don't know if we're allowed to drop websites but I do a lot of business with one company where I buy them by the pound, usually 15-20lbs at a time and, like you said, I always get a 1909 VDB and plenty of teens, twenties, a lot of thirties, and a majority of 40s-50s with all three mint marks. I guess I'll stick with them...I know I'll never find the "Money" coins, but it's a lot of fun to search through so many and know you'll at least find a few that are worth something. I have found quite a few that seem to have a lot of errors on them (blobs, an incomplete "R" in Liberty, BIE, double rims, etc.) The only problem is I don't know which mistakes are common and worthless and which ones are worth holding onto. Can anyone recommend the best book available that distinguishes between these? I'm fairly new to collecting, have a boat load of coins, and just ordered a bunch of supplies to help my searching but I need to know what to look for.[/QUOTE]
