what i would like is a site like coppercoins that has pictures of errors that i can use as a reference for nickles dimes etc. ty
There used to be other sites but I believe they are now defunct for the most part. But you can still use this one - http://minterrornews.com/ It's kinda sorta what you asked for.
Thanks for that link. There is a good piece of info right out of the box. A famous coin here on CT is listed there with a value of only $750.00 in unc. That's gotta be a painful kick to the old apples.

That depends on who you ask. There has been an argument about what a variety is and what an error is for as long as the words have been used in regard to coins.
It would be nice if numismatists could agree. I figured if the Mint intended the coin to go out, it was a variety, and if it did not intend the coin to go out, it was an error.
