Introduction
My mother hoarded mercury dimes, buffalo nickels and the Walking Liberty dollar coinsthroughout my childhood. I too collected change when I grew older and have found pennies worth $2.70 in my pocket.My mother neglected to mention that the dates on the coins made a difference in thevalue. I also found that coin books were complicated. The information I needed from the books was too hard to find, so I decided to create an instruction manual that met myneeds.My instruction manual is for the novice collector and introduces only the coins you cancollect in change with purchases. My manual lets you know that banks will give youdollar coins if you ask for such coins.Collecting change will increase your odds of finding valuable coins, and your pocketchange can contain $1.70 in a single penny.When you start collecting coins, you need to know:
•
what coins to collect
•
which mint marks to collect
•
where to find the coins today
•
how to look for double stamped datesMy manual will instruct you on the following:
•
the dates you need to find
•
where the dates are located
•
how to take care of your coin
•
where to locate the mint marks
•
which coins you want to collect
•
how to find the values of the coins
•
which mint marks are best to collect
•
how to recognize a double stamped dateThe definitions for the grading terms are in each coin section of the instruction manual.I listed only the value according to the most wear of the coin. This means that your coinscould be worth more. The website or the book lists the coin prices under the price chartfor your convenience.3
