<p>[QUOTE="TheBigH, post: 287895, member: 9866"]My advice to you would be to listen to the people who know. I'm very confident that this is not a mint error by any means. Last time I checked, the mint does not use a blow torch on their coins before releasing them. And even if it were a real error, hundreds of dollars would be a stretch and thousands of dollars would downright lunacy. Just because the coin isn't an error, doesn't mean that you forged it yourself, so there's no need to get defensive and play the TPG card. The bottom line is, nothing like that happens at the mint (not to my knowledge, anyway), but that doesn't mean that you're trying to get over on someone. The best thing for you to do is end the auction now and send it in to ANACS if you don't believe us.</p><p> </p><p>I don't call myself an expert, but I've collected long enough to know that a coin that's 'melted' is never a mint error. Coins are not molten when struck, so the closest thing to 'melting' is when a brittle planchet shatters.</p><p> </p><p>I apologize for being so stern, but we all just want to help you, so you don't lose money over something like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
