Message:: [QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1261535, member: 27043"]As VDB said, no desire to "make fun" of any individual here...however, I think this raises an interesting point....there are, indeed, a TRUCKLOAD of these threads, asking about errors and varieties found in circulation. There's a 7 yr old sticky in "Error Coins" called <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t3257/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t3257/">Is My Two Headed/Tailed Coin Real?</a> which touches on one particular "error" (Though, the article linked in its very first post now returns a 404) but nothing else. Would it be appropriate for 3-4 of our resident error/doubling/variety experts to get together, and write a sticky post regarding the common PMD posted as "errors", the most common types of "doubling" incorrectly labeled as such, and a brief discussion of the odds of finding these sorts of things in circulation? Not only would it, I think, centralize some valuable information for all of us, but it might also spare newer visitors what is sure to be a disappointing and...let's be frank... occasionally embarrassing first experience here at CT. Just a thought... ========== Once again, martk, this is in no way directed at you.  You asked a legitimate question, and accepted the input of more experienced numismatists with grace and class, using it as an opportunity to learn.  Not a THING wrong with that.[/QUOTE]
