<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jallengomez, post: 865069, member: 19748&quot;]We aren&#039;t disparaging anyone here from collecting whatever they wish.&nbsp; What we are disparaging is incorrect terminology.&nbsp; It leads to confusion and it leads to people buying &quot;errors&quot; that aren&#039;t errors.&nbsp; One person here stated that a dealer had one of these 1941 coins listed as an overdate.&nbsp; Overdate Cents ended with the Indian Head series.&nbsp; The dates for all of the Lincoln cents were engraved into the master dies as someone pointed out.&nbsp; On a similar note, just the other day someone posted a &quot;hammer/squeeze job&quot; that someone had sold them for $30 as mint &quot;error.&quot;&nbsp; These may look unique and be one of a kind, but I can produce them about as fast as the mint can produce coins and so can you.&nbsp; How long is that bliss going to last when you find out that ignorance cost you money for something you could have produced yourself in all of thirty seconds or so?&nbsp; What is and what is not a mint error or variety is not something that is established at whim by an elite few.&nbsp; They are established by the reality of the minting process.</p><p><br /></p><p>It does you no good to come on here with an accusative diatribe against those who are trying to share their knowledge with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I&#039;ve found many &quot;slant-one cents&quot; from the branch mints.&nbsp; They are not limited to Philadelphia, nor is this type of damage limited to the number 1 in the date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
