I saw a video on YouTube 2000 d South Carolina state quarter rim and rub on reverse mint error is what the video is called check it out maybe that will give a different opinion
@Dallas Johnson anybody can claim anything on youtube. While there are a few good sites, there is also a lot of garbage just trying to get clicks. It can be difficult for a new collector to determine which is which. Forums like CT have a cross section of members, from newbies to world renowned experts. Dealers to published numismatic authors, and collectors with decades of experience and knowledge of the minting process. You'll get the right answer here
And that's even if you don't like it, or think we are wrong. Point is if some one is wrong here the community will correct them.
@Oldhoopster +1. If the members' input encourages you to hang around here and learn about true errors and the minting process you could end up with a lifelong, interesting hobby. Steve
@Pickin and Grinin is right on, too. I've posted some things that have received (and merited) immediate correction by CT folks. A great way to learn. I've even started enjoying the taste of crow. Steve
@Dallas Johnson ...members are not chasing you away, you just need to do several things: STOP going to YouTube. They do not care if you soak up bad information, which 90% is what you get from them. All they care about is clicks. STUDY the minting process and how dies are made. As has been mentioned by many, many members...The Mint has a finite number of ways to produce errors, while coins in circulation have an almost infinite number of ways they can become damaged. GO to error-ref.com to learn about real errors and the difference between them and varieties. IMHO, this will help you realize that 99.9% of the coins you find that appear to have errors are actually only damaged in some way. Best of Luck, Spark
I normally don't go to youtube on misc videos but i looked at this one. As the guy stated ... It was rubbed. But not at the mint during its many years of circulation. I dont understand why people totally disregard that these coins are used for commerce and get heavy wear and damage. Good luck.
I kind of agree with Brina, in that it seems like most newbies are only interested in "what's it worth?" They probably won't be around in a year
I gave @Spark1951 a Best Answer for post #27. The perfect balance of civility and great, concise information. Steve
I I have over 50,000coins with and without errors from 1909 Lincoln Cent to 1938 German coins Russia coins I have all kinds of silver coins I just thought the quarter was crazy looking this is a site to post and ask questions and that is what I did
Dallas...don't take comments personally. FooFighter did say "most newbies", if you are an exception, good for you. And, if you followed my advice in post #27, you should know enough not to be labelled a newbie anymore...Spark
If you want accurate coin collecting information stay away from A. YouTube videos and B. Any book or article that claims “get rich on pocket change.”
Yes by all means, there was no malice behind my comment. It was just a dumb general comment. I make another general comment In that it seams like all hack posters in the forums can never take any other picture other than an out of focus one. But this isn't true. There are alot of US that have a difficult time taking clear pictures.
I voted 'five' too, but the other other five......... Where the devil do these useless, stupid, idiotic, poles come from? One only needs to think a little deeply..........
