There is so much info out there on coins and errors, the rarities and what not. It’s very easy to get lost in it all as a new comer. Feeling overwhelmed, reaching out to see if anybody has a few quick tips. Must do’s, years and or errors of coins to keep an eye out for. Any quick tips!!! Please and thank you

Welcome to CU. First try to decide what type coin you intend to get intimately familiar with. Start reading, use the Google to find info posted by those who are already invested in that series, read, remember, bookmark, read, use topic search here, read, save, have fun. Peace Roy
