[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 3004699, member: 59677"][USER=93294]@LandK[/USER] ... we'll give you the benefit of the doubt, after all on the Internet nobody knows you're a dog, but everybody knows your dog. The great thing about this site is that you never know who is on the other side of the screen name... a lot of the people here are true professional experts and/or incredibly knowledgeable amateurs - all willing to share knowledge. You may not know Fred, but if you start counting off the top error coin people in the world, you will have fingers left on the first hand when you get to him. He's not being snide - pareidolia is a psychological term for the tendency of the human brain to turn random images into recognized patterns. Yes the chance of a ding + stain looking like a P is small, but across the billions of circulation strike nickels minted over the last decade, even a "million-to-one chance" happens several times. As it happens, then, this wasn't an error. Doesn't mean they aren't out there nor should you stop looking or asking questions! I recommend looking at error-ref.com - that site has lots of infornation about types of errors and examples! Good Luck![/QUOTE]
