Message:: [QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2604265, member: 76739"]Paddyman. Why is it everyone on CT likes using the word common. In many cases on CT. When discussing an error, a lot of members like referring to them as common. If all these errors were so common. I would expect to find one in every roll that I opened. That to me would be a common occurrence. But unfortunately a lot of these errors. Though they may be many I would not call them common. Why cannot we be honest and just say  a collar strikes occur quite often. I have found plenty of Collar strikes but very few three ringed. It is widely known out of collar strikes can percent a variety of different rim strikes. I don't know it's just me I just feel it's wrong to say something's common when it actually is not. I myself can show plenty of out of collar strikes coins. To me that would be a common occurrence at the mint. It happens frequently. But as far as the three rings cent if I could remember correctly I do not think I have found one 3 ringed coin. Many other varieties though. So in conclusion out of collar strikes happen quite frequently at the mint on many denominations of coins. I'm sure there's members out there like me that collect rim damage coins. So if you have a three ring coin I would like to see it because I cannot show you one. Can anyone else besides the op. USMC60[/QUOTE]
