I've taking what you said into consideration, thank you..

 

I wish I could make mint errors at home.

 

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like 19Lyrds avatar right now

 

Shhh. I proven my case with supporting evidence I described in details compared with reliable sources.

You've proven nothing other than you are a fool chasing a fool's dream with outrageous claims based solely upon your own fundamental ignorance of the minting process.

Your coin is NOT an error. It is post minting damage. It's only value is as a tool with which you use to drive honest, intelligent, numismatists and forum members crazy.

 

Ease up on him Bob.

 

With the right equip I don't see why not... See (YouTube) it will be of great service to you use for practice the technique.

Add: Wikipedia

Mint-made errors are errors in a coinmade by the mint during the mintingprocess. Groups of coins with distinctive characteristics are known as varieties. The term variety applies to coins with both intended and unintended differences while the term error refers only to coins with unintended differences. Nevertheless, not all errors are varieties. Although there may be many identical examples of a some errors, others are unique. For example, there may be many indistinguishable examples of coins with a specific die crack, while off-center strikes tend to be unique. Being unique does not mean that an error is valuable. Although no other coin may be identical to a coin with an off-center strike, off-center strikes happen often enough that buyers can choose from many examples each of which varies slightly from the other.

Ignorance is bliss

 

stop wasting your time here, and just send all your errors in for grading. The $20-30 you spend on each is well worth not bothering all of these guys here. Besides, your not fun anymore, and people are becoming agitated.

 

You just disproved your self in your own post

You said this

And then attempted to use this as your support...

How can some one make a mint error with the right equipment at home? They would have to live at the mint and I guess own the equipment?

 

New Ron Paul barter tokens counter stamped "teachmind".....all doubled die...

 

Your coin isn't a mint-made error. It is a coin someone removed from their pocket, put in a vice, and destroyed it with a file or grinder. It happened LONG after it left the mint and went into circulation. Understand now? I know you do understand and I know you're only trolling, but I felt like replying anyway.

 

Ok, kiddy time is over. The comment about (Special*) and its implications goes against bullying rules. I am locking this thread and if you start similar, action other than taken currently will be enforced.
