Still nothing.
You're not convincing anyone here.

 

Maybe if he posts that same picture a few more times you'll "get it". Stubborn paddyman! bad boy.

 

I should just start lying to every new member and tell them what they want to hear.."Wow you have an amazing error nobody in the history of mint errors has ever seen!"..
Maybe then they will stop and go away.

 

....no, they'll then eventually find me

 

too funny ...lol

 

I know you would not do that, but I suspect, as in other cases, that it only takes one person to say this and it can be used as a sell point for being a unique and rare error. I've seen this happen on Listia and Etsey where someone from a forum is quoted as saying this or that. I'm NOT saying the OP is doing this. But it has been done numerous times. @A1wsn No need for a FB or Facetime chat. I can appreciate that you want or find the need to find something special but this is just not it with this coin. What you see or want to see is purely coincidental to reality. At this point you would be best to submit the coin for an error authentication, at quite an expense I might add, to one of the top TPG's. ANACS does best with errors IMHO. But continuing to try to justify it here is not going to get you the answer you are seeking. Said respectfully. Tom

 

I realize people say: It's not always about money. (This hobby.)
However, you are talking about coins. That' money and the values of these coins, that's money. This new breed of collectors seems obsessed with errors, because they think (You Tube influence) is that they are going to find a valuable error.
This is why I stated that the 1960-D small date, 1960-D large date and 1960 large date have no value. The key coin is the 1960 small date Philly and the 1960(D) small date over large date. Even if your coin had some minor error, die clash
which was responsible for what you are seeing, because it is a 1960-D it's not worth anything. This whole thread is about a coin that's worth 1 cent. If Fred says you don't have an error, there's not much more to say.

 

We get screwballs here all the time

Chris

 

Clashes/ counter clashes have crisper edges. They just simply don't look like what you have which is a normal penny.

 

What I don't understand is they ask a question or for an opinion and then reject the responses they get. It's like why even ask. It's one thing to ask follow up questions as a means to understand the mistake you made so you don't make it again...

 

Wow this was a fun thread to read. Seems the wack-a-doos are coming out strong on CT lately

 

Thats the problem with the majority of people on the forum i could care less about money and trying to get rich quick which is everyones assumption. I am interested in learning about the differences between the different varieties and classes between doubling machine doubling etc and 9 out of 10 times instead of educating people start off with remarks like impossible and when asked a question respond with no better answer than a childish repeat of their first statement. Only 2 people respond with any knowledge everyone else just i wasted the brain power used to read their comment and i only hope in the future those people will hesitate before they touch the keyboard again and they kill anyone elses brain cells with the mindless dribble they conquer up in their heads.

 

But you still didn't believe them 2 nor us
That's the point we are trying to make.

Fred Weinberg who also posted a comment is one of the top Mint Error specialist in the world.. He responded to you. If he says it is not a mint error then you better believe it!

So.. If you didn't know who he was now you know.

 

You are getting advice from some of the best in hobby (and one actually is THE best). You just have to listen to learn. What you have could not occur during the minting process. No way, no how. That's why people are telling you, you're seeing things. Not because they don't believe you see something. They understand the minting process

When I was a younger collector 40+ years ago, info on the minting process was hard to find. Now, you have experts ready to answer your questions night and day. Don't blow this unbelievable opportunity to pick the brains of some of the best in the hobby.

 

The saying is "mindless drivel" not dribble... And the word you were looking for is "conjure" not "conquer." Guess we must have killed the brain cells that dictate word choice and syntax, huh?

If your priority was really learning and improving, you wouldn't be so butthurt. You'd say, "Shoot. Ok. Lesson learned." You just don't like that people disagreed with your pet theory. It made you feel silly. Your ego couldn't bear that so you lashed out with a hackneyed, psuedointellectual diatribe about your brain power. Laughable, really. Since half of your reply made no sense and smacked of someone trying (and failing) to prove how much smarter they are than everyone else.

 

SO much this. If you waste these people's time by stuffing this board with entitled, self righteous, and indignant bull EDit we all lose out. Respect their experience and knowledge base. If you can't accept that some people just simply know more than you than at least have the courtsey to shut up about it.

 

If you read the history of gold discovery in California, one would see the similarity to the Youtube/internet's 'Free gold in your pocket change' type of books and videos. The estimate is that close to a half million people from outside of the state came in to make their fortunes, " why you can pick up the gold from the ground the minute you get off of the ship", but the vast majority went broke or died for their efforts of looking for gold, even though some had never seen flakes or black sand, they were sure they were finger size nuggets on the ground just around the corner.

Same with varieties and true mint errors today, only it is not California, it is coin forums on the internet that have had the run of newcomers looking for the big nuggets even though they would miss the majority of what they are actually looking for if it was in their pocket already, so they carry pyrite in their hand asking why isn't every one trying to buy this from me....its gold. Like many I started before the internet and spent many times more money on books and publications before I acquired my first variety, and I still have them. Knowledge has to be acquired and its not easy, there is no app on the phone for that.

When I was a kid, my very religious mother took us to an "Old Fashion Tent Revival" and the speaker said that astronomers had seen the "Golden city of God heading for earth to pick up "True believers" and to my mother's chagrin, I said a little too loudly, "No they haven't!" because I read every issue of sky and telescope that came to the library....My poor mother...I am sorry now to have caused her such embarrassment, but sometimes a damaged coin has to be called outright and loudly a damaged coin. IMO, Jim

 

Yeah, pick their brains, blow your nose. NOT the other way around.
