<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2824850, member: 84179&quot;]A good general rule: If you see something “different” on a coin with a lot of wear or damage, the unusual area is almost always related to the wear/damage and not an error.&nbsp; That’s not to say that you can’t find errors on worn/damaged coins, but it really takes a good understanding of the minting process to separate the damage from the error.</p><p><br /></p><p>This isn’t meant to be discouraging.&nbsp; Keep looking.&nbsp; Remember, you have a better chance to struck by lightning twice in your life than you have to win the lottery, but people win the lottery (it’s just not you and me) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
