<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fred Weinberg, post: 2882590, member: 86437&quot;]Yes, at a coin show I will be glad to view</p><p>coins there, and give my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not, and cannot, provide that service thru the mail.</p><p><br /></p><p>I fully understand your situation, and that&#039;s why I gave </p><p>you the 2nd choice&nbsp; - post the photos here, and you will</p><p>receive numerous opinions and views - and I&#039;m fairly </p><p>certain they will be 98% the same, or some might say</p><p>&#039;I can&#039;t tell from a photo&#039;...</p><p><br /></p><p>I will do my best&nbsp; from the photos - but please keep these few things in mind:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. A full photo of both sides of the coin is&nbsp; also needed, not just</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a close up.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. A short description of what you see, and think, the error is on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. We might need to know the weight of the coin, but don&#039;t worry about </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; that right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Some of us have been studying, collecting, buying, selling, certifying Mint Error</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; coins for decades; we see folks online, on the phone, and at coin shows</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; who are not familiar with the minting process, and aren&#039;t coin collectors,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; who believe what they think is an error HAS to be an error; that, in many,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; many, if not most cases, simply isn&#039;t true.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We all try to be helpful with information, but many novices who are looking</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for error coins just don&#039;t want to hear the truth about their coins. They might</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; read about this or that rare error coin or doubled die, and think they have it,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; but they don&#039;t, in the vast majority of situations.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve been doing this (mint error coins) since I was 10 years old, and have been</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a full-time numismatist/dealer for over 46 years - I&#039;m 67 now, so as they say</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; in that Car Insurance&nbsp; commercial - I&#039;ve been around a lot, and I&#039;ve seen a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Let&#039;s see exactly what you have, and go from there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
