<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2479691, member: 1765&quot;]Nothing in the Cherrypicker Guides is impossible to find.&nbsp; The values and rarity scale kind of give you an idea of this.&nbsp; The best thing to do is look at a lot of coins.&nbsp; There are some people that specialize in varieties that set up at shows and will let you look through coins so you get experience seeing the variety on an actual coin, rather than simply a photograph of one taken for the purpose of showing you the variety.&nbsp; By looking at a large number of coins, you&#039;ll also get better at using a loupe and faster at spotting what you want and don&#039;t want.&nbsp; If you&#039;re looking through 1000 coins, you&#039;d much rather spend 3 seconds on each one than 10.&nbsp; Put another way, if you have 10 minutes to look at a dealer&#039;s coins before you get chased away, you&#039;ll have more success if you can look through 200 coins than 60.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re just getting started, start with a series you already know and like.&nbsp; If it&#039;s 20th century (post Barber), there may be a CONECA e-book you can look at online as well as the CPG.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
