<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 951833, member: 26302&quot;]&quot;Error&quot; coins in ancient numismatics is not really the same as modern. In modern coinage, &quot;mostly&quot; perfection is the norm, so errors are rare. In ancients, in many issues, &quot;errors&quot; or poor coining is the norm. Most Chinese errors such as offstruck, edge not filed, etc are not worth a premium, actually worth less than normal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are what are called &quot;rosette&quot; holes in Chinese coins. This is when the rod poked into the center hole to hold the coins goes in not square but at a severe angle, effectively making an 8 pointed star. These rosettes sometimes have a slight premium, but really only if the square is now 8 sided, not just slightly off.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw, anyone else having this weird error here where the screen is like 5 foot wide?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
