<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4769895, member: 84179&quot;][USER=27832]@-jeffB[/USER]&nbsp; Many of these San Francisco Proof “assisted errors” from the 70’s first showed up in a sale by the by State of California (I can’t recall if it was a drug forfeiture or unclaimed deposit box).&nbsp; Prior to the sale, the US Secret Service examined the coins and ok’d their sale, so they are legit to buy, sell and collect.&nbsp; You also need to consider that getting these out of the mint is a significant challenge, so it’s going to be extremely difficult for more like this to hit the market, and if they do, the scrutiny will be extremely high.&nbsp; IMO, you may never see anything like these again (unless they mint decides to add custom made errors to their sales catalog&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I don’t have much enthusiasm for these types of errors, and others have expressed the same sentiment.&nbsp; However, since they are legal to own, if others want to spend big money for them, that’s their choice.&nbsp; The story of their existence is documented, and I’m sure that the dealers and potential buyers are well aware of the circumstances.&nbsp;&nbsp; Therefore, I have no issue with dealers like Mike Byers or Fred Weinberg selling errors like this, nor with those who buy them.&nbsp; FWIW: It looks like the market for this stuff has been strong for a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
