<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 800790, member: 19463"]I really suggest beginners start with cleaned and identifiable coins because it is easier to learn the craft of IDing if you have all the details to see. Spent $100 on ten $10 coins rather than hoping to get 10 keepers out of a lot of 100 $1 lottery tickets. After you get good at confirming the ID's provided by others, buy clean but unidentified coins out of dealers' junk boxes at shows if they are held in your area. Later you can move into uncleaned if that still interest you abd show off that you can ID a coin from almost no clues because of all the experience gained handling the easy ones in the beginning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
