<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3070383, member: 36230&quot;]What exactly do you want to hear? I understand you&#039;re trying to learn and have the utmost respect for it, but this is really getting to be a bit much. If truly just trying to understand as claimed, perhaps you should try to work with the only ones thus far going out of their way to try to explain this. Did you bother checking out the link [USER=41219]@furryfrog02[/USER] kindly provided? </p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from the fact that plating issues are painfully common on early Zincolns and not a striking error, I don&#039;t know what else to tell you. Much likely has to do with the value thing, but each time I&#039;ve tried to address this nonsense ensues. When something is so common that it&#039;s at times more difficult to find an example not displaying the anomaly on some level, would it really make sense to place in a category with truly uncommon and in some cases valuable &quot;mistakes&quot;? Short more extreme instances, no one makes a big deal out of die cracks either and for good reason, but at least they are the result of something beyond a very poor decision on the mint&#039;s part. That said, if you want to call plating issues &quot;errors&quot;, feel free, but just don&#039;t expect everyone else to see them as special or on par with other more significant errors. Easy peasy.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yet <i>again</i>, I did not say nor suggest that YOU are in it for the money, so even after <i>again</i> clarifying, I&#039;m unsure as to why you feel the need to harp on the issue. As someone supposedly wanting to learn, you should easily be able to understand why I (most regretfully) thought it worth addressing this. My mistake and apologies. </p><p><br /></p><p>The below link explains much of the minting process and should be required reading for those new to the hobby. Perhaps, and hopefully, you&#039;ll find it enlightening. Best of luck, sir.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
