Remember dash. The people you are smacking in the face are the people that are helping you. If you are so concerned about the way people are acting, then you should just take your coins to a dealer. Just to let you know there are very little experts here, and a lot of people learning. @paddyman98 told me one day that he been in the coin hobby for around 30 years and is still learning. I do find it very awkward that you are calling him an expert but at the same time questioning his method as if he was doing something wrong. Doesn't make sense even the least bit. And as for Chris poking his nose in people's buisness, if you don't want ppl poking on your dirty work buisness, then don't put it out there for the entire internet to see. Especially when you can't even show your face.
It's not an error. The "V" would have to be on the die (that they make the coins from), and that would make hundreds of thousands of those coins. Coins get banged around by coins and other objects and metal is moved around.
