quote[0]="When searching cents of any given date and mint make sure to check all areas of the coin - but if you want to know what's most typical for any particular date so you cn concentrate on that area, go here."
quote[1]="Cleaning coins is defined as any treatment that moves the metal on the coin in any way.  This can be anything from chemical acids to abrasive cleaners.  There are safe and effective ways of removing dust, dirt, and grime from copper coins.  Acetone is one of the most common chemicals used for this."
quote[2]="When using acetone to remove dust from a cent, use a clean cotton swab and make sure you roll the swap onto the coin, don't scrub it.  Scrubbing dirt around on the surface of a coin acts like sandpaper - it can cause hairlines, seriously affecting the coin's grade."
quote[3]="If you have a coin with caked grime you can immerse the coin in pure mineral oil (available at drug stores) to remove the grime.  Be patient, the mineral oil bath could take as much as a month to take effect."
quote[4]="Circulated cents will often have black dirt packed around the letters and numbers (devices).  This can keep you from detecting many of the more minor varieties available.  One way of removing the packed dirt is with a green thorn from a rose bush or locust tree.  The thorns are naturally sharp providing a very nice point, and are soft enough not to damage the coin.  Remember to clean the tip of the thorn often, the dirt that accumulates on it could scratch the coin."
quote[5]="Determining the attribution of an RPM includes three basic factors - the spread of the secondary mint mark, the distance of the mint mark from the date, and the markers on the rest of the coin.  All must match to be certain that the coin in question belongs to the listed die."
quote[6]="Determining the attribution of a doubled die includes ensuring that the spread of the doubling is of the right strength and classification, and determining that the markers on the coin match that of the listed die."
quote[7]="Class 6 doubled dies are the only classification of doubled dies which do not show separation lines between the primary and secondary devices.  This is because the working hub that created the die was warped or damaged, and does not have to do with the actual alignment of the die or hub during the pressing of the die."
quote[8]="Mineral oil can preserve the redness of a nice uncirculated coin, but beware NOT to use vegetable or olive oil to accomplish this task.  They are organic and can rot or spoil over time."
quote[9]="Try placing doubled die reverse coins in their holders with the reverse showing to the front.  That way you can view all of your varieties from the same side of the pocket page in your collection."
quote[10]="If you use cardboard 2x2 holders in your collection, use a pair of pliars to flatten the staples in the holder.  This could greatly increase the life expectancy of your pocket pages."
quote[11]="When you go through an original roll of coins looking for varieties, try to remember markers in one particular area of each coin as you start going through the roll.  When you have been through a dozen or so coins memorizing the markers as you go along, the second half or better of the roll should go quickly."
quote[12]="Remember when you are going through rolls looking for varieties to check every coin.  Don't stop half way through assuming that you won't find anything.  Many times nice varieties have been found that are the only existing copy in the roll, and luck would have it that it would be near the end of the roll."
quote[13]="When photographing coins, try using a bright lighting source with a translucent white filter between the bulb and the coin.  This floods the light and helps evenly distribute it.  I use bond paper or a cut piece of a white trash bag for this."
quote[14]="The possibility of repunched mint marks ended in 1990 with the advent of placing the mint mark directly on the master die."
