<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 708850, member: 4350&quot;]Some things to keep in mind though, for those who may be searching out genuine error coins on eBay , for example are:</p><p><br /></p><p>Some error coins of other countries like India, for example are incredibly plentiful and one has to wonder if they are intentionally made to be marketed in quantity.&nbsp; They are not rare at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other errors have even been certified but they are &quot;intentionally manufactured&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a fairly famous phony error where Panamanian 1/2 Balboa coins are struck over older kennedy half dollars where the combinations of dates are impossible under any circumstances.&nbsp; There are 1982 1/2 Balboas struck over 1971 Kennedys.&nbsp; It&#039;s an impossible scenario under the then existing circumstances.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It turns out that they were illegally being Manufactured in Panama with stolen dies.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What is sad is that ANACS slabbed many of these without thought as to the way they could or more importantly couldn&#039;t have been made.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is much more than meets the eye with respect to error coins.&nbsp; Especially well known by some but unknown by others are all the &quot;fake&quot; error coins found on eBay.&nbsp; We see damaged coins all the time being sold as errors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A word of caution , particularly with error coins is to know a &quot;garage job&quot; from a legitimate error.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
