<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1650477, member: 26302&quot;]Have you read the definitive book for each coin series? Do you know what date/mm comes like typically from the mint? Do you of any overdates for every coin date? This is the benefit of KNOWLEDGE, not a cursory reading of a book. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not picking on you, trying to teach you the difference. Someone who knows a coin series knows if a 54s dime usually comes mushy, so a well struck specimen is a great find. S/he knows lots of very specific, detailed information on what s/he collects. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is TONS to learn above and beyond beginner books, red books, etc. Those only scratch the surface. You are only beginning to learn something about coins. That is not meant to be condescending to a child, but is what I tell anyone who has only been collecting a few years. I have been reading about coins for 35+ years, and started about your age, and learn new things every day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
