Moxie15 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Brad, you need to invest in a Cherry Picker's Guide. It has most, if not all ,the truly and semi valuable varieties. If you do not find an exact match in there then go to a website such as Variety Vista, If you do not see your coin in one or both of those sources you have a non-variety. You will learn more about coins and varieties then you could imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you don't know what you're looking at, the chance that it's something new is near zero. Even if it was a new discovery, the road through confirmation, attribution, publication, and collector interest is a long one, before you get to "rare" and "valuable".

VKurtB Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Brad, I'm moving to Alabama late this year and intending to join the Madison County Coin Club. The retirement monster approaches. Since I'm moving south to evade snow (I've shoveled my last), that probably means rarely getting to NYINC anymore, but getting to FUN almost every year.
