<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1942573, member: 5233&quot;]That makes sense.&nbsp; I guess it all comes back to the TPGs being for-profit companies that tailor their product to their consumer base.&nbsp; If &quot;collectors&quot; as a general group want something, they adjust their policies to provide it.&nbsp; It simply creates more revenue for them.&nbsp; I suppose in a purely business sense, it&#039;s smart.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me ask you this...and let me preface it by saying that my entire &quot;collecting life&quot; has been in the era of the TPGs.&nbsp; I started collecting in 1997 or so...heck I was born in 1985 so I haven&#039;t even really existed in a non-TPG world.&nbsp; Were these &quot;planchet flaw&quot; type coins (of all kinds) considered &quot;errors&quot; or &quot;problem coins&quot; in the pre-TPG days?&nbsp; I guess I always personally lumped these coins into the same &quot;general error catagory&quot; with doubled dies and other traditional errors.&nbsp; In my mind, (and again, I&#039;m not an error collector) they were all coins produced at the mint with some kind of &quot;defect.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Having given this more thought...it seems to me that there is a distinct difference (from a desirability standpoint) between &quot;errors&quot; caused by the die and &quot;errors&quot; caused by the planchet.&nbsp; Is that a fair thing to say?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
