[QUOTE="coingeek12, post: 1905956, member: 38284"]so, i know i have NEVER found an error coin worth over $2, but i have posted quite a bit on the subject. so i have written this post as a guideline forum for those of you new to posting your suspected error. STEP 1: Do some research before posting about it. i know it is hard when you have this auto search engine at your feet and all you will have to do is sit back and answer a few questions. but please, look it up before posting it. STEP 2: Give it i title that says you need help! not something that says you "know" what it is! secondly, post what you think it is, and also what you think it would be if its not. Dont forget to tell us were you see it on the coin! that is also very important! STEP 3: post pictures of were you see the error! if your pics are not that good, then scan it. be sure to circle and/or point to the area in question, this is very helpful as well. STEP 4: give lots of info on the coin, were you got it, how you got it, and what it weighs. if possible, maybe even the grade. STEP 5: you have your coin up, great! But how to respond to posts? give them all the info they need on your coin. do not assume they know everything about it, if they want to see the rim, show them the rim. and dont get upset when they say: "your cent is worth: one cent! yeah!" so please, do not hide anything, it only makes their job harder. i hope this does help a lot! and for those replying, if you think it is something, let them know you THINK it is that, and to not take it as gospel truth. ~Michael[/QUOTE]
