<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4682295, member: 84179&quot;]Just wondering where you’re getting your info.&nbsp; As mentioned previously, the people buying these coins are newer collectors or others that don’t know die chips are common.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you take these to a dealer who specializes in error coins, they will have no interest.&nbsp; That’s because the error collectors they sell to understand these are common.&nbsp; I’m certain that there isn’t a knowledgeable error collector on this site who would pay $3-5 for a minor die chip.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, there are people trying to make a buck off new collectors.&nbsp; They give these things fancy names and promote them on YouTube and sites like you referenced.&nbsp; They make it sound like these are rare and valuable.&nbsp; And the people who fall for the gimmick will be surprised when they want to sell their “rare and valuable” error.&nbsp; Unless they can find another new collector, who has fallen for the hype, they will discover that their coins are only worth a fraction of what they paid.&nbsp; IMO, the people hyping these things (like the one your referenced) are doing a huge disservice to collectors and the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said previously, these things can be fun to find and collect, but please don’t expect to get rich off them, and please, please, please don’t fall for the hype.&nbsp; I hope this helps clarify things for you[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
