[QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 24583808, member: 44615"]Keep this in mind.. Not everything that looks different, strange or weird is automatically a mint error. There are so many way coins become damaged or altered post mint. But it's great you are asking so you can learn. Worry only about identifying what true errors are first. Many minor errors found in circulation have very little or no premiums at all. Don't get caught up with way overvalued coins seen on eBay or Etsy. I've seen a lot of ridiculous listings for Damaged coins that should be only worth face value :meh: If you do find a minor mint error many times it's not really necessary to send them to a grading company. You also need to know that you have to pay two fees. One for grading and another for [B]attribution[/B]. Attribution is when they verify if you have a error or variety coin. It can get costly!
