<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 2161383, member: 15062&quot;]I may generate a lot of flak from error collectors for this but, in my opinion, these manufactured errors should be confiscated and destroyed.&nbsp; They were illegally made by government employees using government equipment solely for personal gain.&nbsp; The employees should be fired, arrested and fined or jailed.&nbsp; Think about how this would all play out in private industry.&nbsp; I once worked for a government agency that dealt with individuals who had lost their jobs for various reasons, including profiting from the misuse of the employer&#039;s material and equipment.&nbsp; I have no sympathy for them, and in many cases, the employer involved was able to stop the distribution of the goods since there was no guarantee that the proper standards were followed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no problem with legitimate errors, e.g., a dime planchet gets stuck in a corner of a planchet transfer bin.&nbsp; The bin is subsequently used to transport cent planchets to the presses.&nbsp; The dime planchet gets dislodged and goes through the cent stamping process resulting in a Cent-on-Dime planchet error.&nbsp; I also have no problem with rarities like the 1933 Double Eagles, 1904 Dollars, 1913 Liberty Nickels, etc which were legitimate issues from the mint and aren&#039;t errors.&nbsp; Double struck coins, flipped and restruck coins, out of collar strikes, etc are legitimate.&nbsp; Mules are impossible without nefarious human intervention and are in no case a legitimate mint issue.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
