[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 4735138, member: 86437"]Assisted Mint Error coins struck in an Official US Mint are genuine US Mint Errors. They might not be made in the normal course of the Minting Process, but they were struck as errors. Interpret it as you like. PCGS and NGC will certify these as Mint Errors as long as they were struck in the Mint. I have had, over close to 50 years now, in-person discussions with the Secret Service, US Treasury, Mint Police, and the Chief Mint Police Officer, among others. The short version: with the exception of '33 Double Eagles, '64 Peace Dollars, and '74 Aluminum Cents, in 99.5% of the cases, they do not care about the errors that are 'out there', unless there are current leaks at any of the Mints. I recognize that some error collectors do not consider these to be legit Mint Errors, and that's fine. I do, and so do my clients and most error collectors.[/QUOTE]
