[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 24489730, member: 59677"]Flaws are not errors. Just start from the assumption that most of what you are seeing is damage from circulation.

They have zero to minimal extra value... cool finds, but that's it. [URL]https://www.error-ref.com/[/URL] The one in a billion major error is valuable because it's one in a billion and a major error.

You want to /1/ have the coin fill most of the picture and /2/ [more important] be in focus.
