<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 8124507, member: 92655"]Hey Top…. Just addressing the “finding in the wild” part of your question…… For fifty years I collected old coins and never gave a second thought about errors and varieties until I joined CT…. A while back I decided that the “BIE” Lincoln cent minor error was pretty cool and it seemed fairly common based on what I read here….. Now in my years I have saved many many thousands of wheat cents. When I had my knee replacement, I searched every one of them…. Not one BIE in the bunch…. Just a few months after that I went thru a fast food drive thru and received a brand spanking new and very nice misaligned die dime…… I think that at the rate the US mint bangs these things out, you can’t help but have a few errors slip through. We just have to be in the right place at the right time with good fortune shining down on us I believe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
