<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2965154, member: 36230&quot;]Perhaps the most important thing you need to understand is that because you&#039;re new to this, the chances of you picking up on any/every possible variety within is slim to none. No number of books, reference, or websites will change this. If you go through all of the coins now, stick with the hobby for another year or two, and then go through them again, you&#039;ll almost certainly come across something overlooked the first time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any and every date has the potential for both varieties and errors. Just because there may not be any listed for a certain date, this does not mean none exist, but simply none are known to that whatever site/reference. This is why truly knowing what to look for is of the utmost importance. Anyone with reasonably modest experience can try to match up a coin to a known variety, but if you genuinely know what you&#039;re doing and can identify the characteristics on your own, such sites are only useful for attributing.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anything, do consider investing more of your time into learning about the different varieties, how they&#039;re produced, etc, as opposed to simply trying to match anything found to a website. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
