A U.S. Mint error coin, is an error in the manufacture of the coin, which is purely unintentional, and the Mint makes every effort to prevent errors from leaving their facility. However, a very small number of them do make it out into circulation, and are highly sought after by collectors as they can attain a high value premium in the numismatic circles.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would ask that your advertising regarding these pieces be updated so as to not create confusion amongst collectors, especially people who are just getting started with coin collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I thank you for your time and if you wish to discuss this further with me, at your convenience, please feel free to contact me at the above address, phone, or email.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sincerely,</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>XXXXX</p><p>[h=1][/h][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
