Getting Started
Look at as many coins as you can. The more you examine, the greater your odds of uncovering your fortune.
Be patient; if you don’t find anything immediately, keep looking.
Don’t expect to sell everything you find immediately—wait for the proper time and place to maximize your profits.
When available use the Internet! There are many great auction venues for selling your coins, buying books, supplies, and making contacts.
Many of the smaller errors do not sell quickly, particularly in circulated condition. You may want to stock them up for a bulk sale.
Do not expect to sell your find immediately. It may take some effort on your part. Purchase a coin magazine, use the Internet, contact a local dealer or even write letters. Coins are no different than any other business. You will have to market your product to be successful.
Buy a few other books to widen your search. Even if you do not collect coins, the hunt and treasure are worth the effort.
Separate particular dates of a denomination until you have several of a particular year. This will assist you with years that have numerous varieties.
DO NOT only look for the errors listed in the book; there are thousands of other varieties that are already known and many more others unreported.
Try looking in new wrapped rolls from your bank. These rolls contain most of the errors that are found in circulation. Get them early.
Not unlike anything else, you may take a bump or two in the process of trying to sell a coin. Not all will sell quickly, and you will not get the listed price. If you are serious about making money, you must research and market your product.
