<p>[QUOTE=&quot;toned_morgan, post: 4563805, member: 97258&quot;]Basic skills of coin collecting:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. NEVER CLEAN OR RUB ANYTHING (Even with water)</p><p>2. Hold by edges and never touch the surface</p><p>3. Identify cleaned coins</p><p>4. Identify polished/plated/tampered-with coins</p><p>5. Grade raw coins accurately</p><p>6. Know dates and compositions</p><p><br /></p><p>Learn <b>and</b> master these and you will be the best coin Padawan to exist. This coin is plated (4), you should never touch the surface (2), and quarters are silver only from 1964 and before, so this coin is clad, and therefore its edge should look half silver and half copper (6). All of these skills apply equally on anything, so get learning!</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to CT by the way![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
