<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8236827, member: 106826&quot;]The point is that when folks overmagnify something, they begin to &#039;see something&#039;.&nbsp; It&#039;s often a delusion. This happens a lot when folks are trying to make out a minor DDO/DDR variety.&nbsp; They zoom in...over pixelate...over light a specimen to create things that aren&#039;t really there.&nbsp; Minor varieties generally carry very little interest amongst collectors and very little (if any) premium.&nbsp; But folks new to variety hunting will almost undoubtedly be caught up in this at some point and sometimes to excess.&nbsp; It also tends to happen on high value coins, where fraud is more common.&nbsp; But also where folks are hoping...praying...that they have the something that they are looking for.&nbsp; Will they hit the lottery?&nbsp; Get struck by lightning?&nbsp; Or has pareidolia struck again?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All understandable...and passes with time and experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
