<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 667812, member: 39&quot;]Hard to say &quot;yes&quot; or &quot;no&quot;. If you divide the world into two categories (US/Canada here, all others there), then the answer is yes, you are right. If you differentiate a little further, things look a little different.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here in Germany for example quite a few people are interested in error pieces. Not as many as in the US, I suppose, and they will usually not pay the prices that US collectors are willing to pay. Don&#039;t collect error pieces myself, but here are a few sites about them, focusing on German mark pieces and on euro coins:</p><p><a href="http://www.errorcoins.eu/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.errorcoins.eu/" rel="nofollow">http://www.errorcoins.eu/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.sammler.com/mz/mark_abarten.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sammler.com/mz/mark_abarten.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.sammler.com/mz/mark_abarten.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://www.sammler.com/mz/euro_abarten.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sammler.com/mz/euro_abarten.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.sammler.com/mz/euro_abarten.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>For Mark coins, Peter Neugebauer published an errors catalog a few years ago:</p><p><a href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/variantenkatalog-der-bundesdeutschen-kurs-und-gedenkmuenzen/buchdetail/36/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/variantenkatalog-der-bundesdeutschen-kurs-und-gedenkmuenzen/buchdetail/36/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gietl-verlag.de/variantenkatalog-der-bundesdeutschen-kurs-und-gedenkmuenzen/buchdetail/36/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html</a></p><p>And later this year, his euro errors catalog will come out:</p><p><a href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/index.php?seite=buchempf&amp;buchnr=134" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/index.php?seite=buchempf&amp;buchnr=134" rel="nofollow">http://www.gietl-verlag.de/index.php?seite=buchempf&amp;buchnr=134</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Currently Burkhard Graichen, who has the biggest collection of German error coins, is trying to find a museum that would permanently exhibit his pieces. These photos were taken on previous occasions, e.g. when he showed them at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt:</p><p><a href="http://www.emuenzen.de/forum/allgemeines/55393-bilder-der-graichen-sammlung-museum-unterstuetzung-durch-dieses-forum.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.emuenzen.de/forum/allgemeines/55393-bilder-der-graichen-sammlung-museum-unterstuetzung-durch-dieses-forum.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.emuenzen.de/forum/allgemeines/55393-bilder-der-graichen-sammlung-museum-unterstuetzung-durch-dieses-forum.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That page, and the photos, should be accessible without signing up over there. Some of the photos show many coins but not many details. Still interesting though ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
