<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HowardStern, post: 1507961, member: 26533&quot;]Ive been searching rolls and boxes for errors for a few years now.&nbsp; Ive noticed that some boxes can contain 100&#039;s of the same error variety.&nbsp; For example, if you buy a bank box of washington dollar coins and you open 2 rolls and find a few MEL&#039;s, its pretty much a give in that the rest of the rolls in the box will contain many more MELs.&nbsp; Other boxes can be cold and contain very few errors, or none at all.&nbsp; When I go to a bank and buy a roll or 2, and I find errors, I always go back and buy the rest of the rolls and find more errors.&nbsp; If I dont find any errors, Ill probably still buy them and search them anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>I once bought a box of Buchanan dollar coins and found over 100 VERY weak edge lettering errors in the same box.&nbsp; I got a few graded by NGC (about 15 or so).&nbsp; When I found that NGC attributed them, I sent them about 50 of them to grade.&nbsp; All of a sudden they refused to acknowledge the error.&nbsp; NGC lied and tried to tell me that they stopped attributing weak edge lettering years ago. I called them out and said that they just attributed 10 of mine the previous month.&nbsp; With that NGC refunded my money in full and sent me all the Buchanans slabbed and graded, which I of course cracked and opened and sold as weak edge lettering errors..raw.&nbsp; So if you see me slandering NGC in other threads, this is just one of the many reasons why.&nbsp; They have a lot of nerve acknowledging a mint error, but refusing to attribute it because they deem it not significant enough of an error...all of a sudden,,when I submit the errors in bulk.&nbsp; I had to fight with them for a refund.&nbsp; Many cointalkers here swear by NGC and will no doubt defend them here in the forums every time I post negatively about them.&nbsp; Until they screw you like they tried to screw me, you will not understand.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, back to the hot boxes.&nbsp; Does anybody want to share their stories of how they found one?&nbsp; What errors you found? </p><p>I only mentioned the Buchanan&#039;s because Ive already sold most of them.&nbsp; I understand many of you dont want the word out that you have 100&#039;s of &quot;rare&quot; errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
