[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 92889, member: 4626"]Errors, since by definition are unintentional, are hard to determine rarity on. Educated guesses can be made based on how many of a type of error are discovered. Basically determining value of an error depends on how rare the error is, how interesting it is (subjective, but some errors get a lot of permium to them if lots of people want them, while some errors, even though rare, nobody much cares about), the base condition of the coin, etc. Modern errors, due to better quality control and more modern equipment, tend to be a lot more rare than older errors. I haven't found any errors myself, but do have a few I bought, mostly off-centers which don't cost too much usually, as it's a fairly common error (relative to coins with errors, not realtive to base mintages). I always dream of finding a rare mule error, like the 2000 state quarter obverse/Sacagawea reverse that first got found in a stamp vending machine, lol... ever since I heard of that error, I've always checked my change from the stamp machine carefully. Anyway so as not to derail the thread... an 1895S would bwe a great find, even with no error at all...[/QUOTE]
