<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3518633, member: 24633"][USER=102343]@Michelle Holley[/USER] , what you may not understand about errors is that very few are listed in any census by denomination/date/mintmark by any of the major grading services. Even if you just try to Google, say, "1968D Lincoln cent errors", you will probably come up with very little. And, your search will be made even harder if you don't know the actual name that is given to an error such as "Re-punched Mintmark", "Off-center Strike", "Misaligned Die", etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>In such cases, your best bet is to simply use the combined knowledge of the members on a site such as this, but don't be surprised if it is suggested that you try to learn as much as you can about the minting process so that you can eliminate "odd looking" coins that have been altered in the normal course of circulation. It's only natural that you may not recognize a particular error, but when you can explain what you think you are seeing (like you have done here) it will make it that much easier for others to help you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
