[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 3231157, member: 73995"]I think one has to understand the minting process before they can figure out what IS and what ISN'T an error or variety. To be blunt about it anything that looks like damage should be considered damage. There are very few errors that look like damage, IE lamination flaws, Some struck through errors, loss of lamination would be another. Use the various websites as a reference. This is a great one, [url]http://www.error-ref.com/[/url] This has a good write up about how dies are made and what worthless doubling looks like, A lot of great information here. [url]http://doubleddie.com/[/url] Teach yourself first what a mint state coin looks like, Then and only then will one understand what an error or variety is.[/QUOTE]
