beginners guide

#1 Unread post by leland1946 »

Well here is my first query. Is there a book/guide that explains hopefully with photos all the terms and examples of the different errors and such . Being as green as can be to this I just cant tell the difference in so many things listed. As an example seeing a double die …. they all look the same. One set of letters are a little different on one coin than on the very same coin of the same mint and years as the next; but one is listed as an error the other is not. Hope I am getting across what I am trying to say. Do know that I am going to purchase a scope for sure, these old eyes just don't cut it. Thanks lee
