<p>[QUOTE="Vorpaledged, post: 26195290, member: 168022"]I find them interesting. I enjoy the subset "Intentionally Created Errors"! Especially ones that are extraordinary with phenomenal eye appeal! Some people get a Torch mob brewing when this subject surfaces but...people are entitled to their opinions, for me, unless there is actual proof i'm ok with it. The coins exist and are available, I enjoy owning, buying, trading them. I see claims of "a mint employee did this or that"...do you know they did this? is there any proof of who or when?? I think a focus on how the pieces get out of the Mint is an ongoing mystery. I remember Fred discussing the Forklifts and how they used the oil pans to smuggle out a variety of Proof errors. Maybe large, inconceivable errors where made back in the 60s/70s by normal traditional ways but were snuck out as such and weren't meant to make a few bucks but as personal trophy/souvenirs. Does that mean they were actually man-made? Maybe/maybe not, all speculation. The QC back then wasn't as advanced as it is now. They most likely didn't have the precautionary measures to prevent errors from escaping like current technology. I mean aren't All mint errors not supposed to leave the mint?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
