[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 726364, member: 4350"]That's the idea and the learning part is actually fun. Keep in mind that there can be a million ways to damage a coin. Each way is limited only by imagination. There are a limited number of ways for an error to be created and understanding the Minting process down to its last detail is extremely important in order to recognize what is and what is not an error. Seeing thousands of real errors helps too:-) Errors are scarce and damage is plentiful. The odds are that a person will find a damaged coin many more times than they will an actual error. The fact is that I have seen hundreds of coins at coin shows labeled as errors that are junk coins that have been damaged. You need to keep an eye out for posts by Mike Diamond, of CONECA and I dare say that I am also right with error Identification about 99.9% of the time. There are other people here as well but between Mike and myself, there is probably no error that can't be identified and explained. I am not saying this to pump myself or Mike up. It is merely to point out that there are experts here who are willing to help you learn. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
