<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 4018831, member: 92083&quot;]As I stated on another thread, I don&#039;t want to pay more for an error simply because the coin is a &quot;key&quot; date or mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I don&#039;t really care what the date is, unless it is a type coin like a steel cent, bicentennial, or war nickel. Yeah, error collectors love those and will pay more for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what about a major error like a curved clip on a 1909-S VDB cent, a 25% off-center 1916-D Mercury dime, or a double-struck 1893-S Morgan dollar?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think those are tough sales for a dealer and risky buys for a collector. Non-error collectors don&#039;t want an imperfect key coin, and I imagine other error collectors like myself don&#039;t want to shell out thousands more for an off-center 1916-D simply because it&#039;s a key date. (Although, I do think an off-center 3-legged Buffalo nickel would be sort of cool.)</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think about this topic?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
