<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 417049, member: 68&quot;]You&#039;re going to miss some good stuff no matter how much you learn about coins.&nbsp; Even if you saw a picture or had a good description of what&#039;s worthwhile, you might not recognize it the first time you see it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Really the best bet is always to invest a few dollars in the folders for the coins and put the choicest example you can find in the set.&nbsp; Look for high grade but even more, look for nice well struck examples because you&#039;ll use these coins as a reference set later.&nbsp; There are undiscovered and unreported varieties and it&#039;s very convenient to always have an example of what a coin is supposed to look like at hand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Do use the cherrypickers guide and some of the lists of pocket change finds from this site and others but odds are good it will take some time for you to get good at spotting most of the keepers.&nbsp; During this time it&#039;s a lot of fun building the collection and making a few finds.&nbsp; You&#039;ll probably be pretty surprised how difficult choice examples of many dates will prove.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
