[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 779853, member: 4552"]WELCOME TO THE FORUM. Dots have already been sort of explained here so I won't bore you with more. However, as to errors on coins, mostly error coins are horrible and worthlesss. :goofer: For example there is those silly ones that make you think something is wrong with your eyes because the look doubled.

For some odd reason the prices after them is higher than a normal, regular, nice coin of the same date. Just don't know why. Lots of coins are off center and those too always cost more for some reason. :D In reality almost all error coins are worth more than if that coin was normal. I would suggest you get a copy of the Red Book by Whitman Publishing. Near the end, about pages 400 and up, the many types of error coins are explained and some of the possible values. Error coins are purposely made by the USMint to make it fun to look for them. Sort of a hang over from looking for those Easter Eggs hidden by the Easter Bunny.:D:):goofer:[/QUOTE]
