<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 188637, member: 705&quot;]This is why all collectors should heed the old saying---Buy the Book BEFORE you buy the coin----while one book can not help on all of these things, I think it is, or at least should be, every collectors goal to learn as much as he can so he does not get stuck with such things as listed above.</p><p>You will note that all of the Trade Dollars were marked as fake---now I know that there are some good fakes out there but as Zane has pointed out before---even really good fakes can be picked out pretty good.....that is what I want to work on....I&#039;m building my coin book library as I can but one goal I have is to not only own the good books...but as I get them I&#039;m reading them page by page....some of the books such as The Cherry Pickers Guide you just don&#039;t sit down and read, and that isn&#039;t the type of book I&#039;m talking about, but its more of the info books.....so many times we have the info we need right at our finger-tips, and if we would take hold of that info we wouldn&#039;t fall prey to fake or damaged coins....but needless to say, we all have, and more than likely we will again.</p><p>This thread should be a good warning to all of us----</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
